TUBER TOSS (POTATO, SWEET POTATO AND CARROT)
Known in our family as "Potato Blob", this tastes better than it sounds! Honey-fried onions, some chili peppers and a bit of cheese on top make for a sweet and peppery, but not too strong, one-dish meal or side-dish.

Steps:
- Chop potatoes, sweet potato and carrot into bite-size pieces, placing in a big bowl of cold water as you go, to keep them fresh. Once all are chopped, put pieces into a pot of water and bring to a boil on high heat. Continue to boil at high heat until a piece will come apart easily when poked with a fork.
- While vegetables are cooking, fry onion, honey, 1 1/2 tsp of butter and chilis in a small pan until golden and tender. Turn off heat and set aside.
- When potatoes and carrots are cooked, drain the boiling water out of the pot and mash them until smooth, adding milk and 1 TBSP butter as you go. Add fried onions and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide between two plates and top with grated cheese and some more pepper. Enjoy!

Whether you decide to serve this as a holiday side dish or a dessert, it will be delicious! We really loved this classic Jewish casserole. The mixture of sweet potatoes and carrots with all the fruit and juices is fabulous. It's a great balance of sweet and savory. It makes a lot, so if you're having a big holiday dinner consider...

Steps:
- 1. First and foremost put on your "Just A Pinch Apron" and a huge smile! Spray a 3 quart casserole dish with vegetable cooking spray. This will help with the clean-up. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START.
- 2. SWEET POTATOES: Wash sweet potatoes and place in a large soup kettle and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until sweet potatoes are firm but tender NOT mushy. Remove hot water from kettle and put in cold water.
- 3. PEELING SWEET POTATOES: Let sweet potatoes cool in water until you can handle them. Take one sweet potato at a time and make a slice down the length of the sweet potato. Then with your hands remove the skin. Do this for each sweet potato. Once the skin is removed cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes and place back into the large soup kettle.
- 4. BABY CARROTS: Wash baby carrots and cut into halves. Place the carrots in a saucepan and cover with water, bring to a boil. Cook until tender but firm.
- 5. Drain carrots and add them to the soup kettle with the sweet potatoes.
- 6. PRUNES/PLUMS AND RAISINS: Cut prunes or plums (whichever you desire) in half and add them to the soup kettle. Then add the golden raisins to the soup kettle. Now very gently mix all the ingredients in the soup kettle together. I actually like to wash my hands and toss with my hands. Then place all ingredients in the soup kettle into a 3 quart sprayed casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 7. JUICES AND OTHER INGREDIENTS: In a medium size bowl, mix (juice ONLY) orange juice, pineapple juice, mandarin orange juice, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Then pour this mixture evenly over the ingredients in the 3-quart casserole dish.
- 8. Slice butter into pats and place them evenly over the 3 quart casserole dish. I usually place the pats 3 rows down and 4-5 rows across.
- 9. Place a cover over the 3 quart casserole dish. If you don't have a cover use aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- 10. PINEAPPLE, MANDARIN ORANGES & APRICOTS: Uncover the casserole dish. Place in a mixing bowl the pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges. Cut the apricot half and into half again and add to mixing bowl. Gently mix all the fruit together and then put into 3-quart casserole dish. Mix everything in the 3-quart casserole dish making sure you include the juice in the mixing.
- 11. Bake for 10 minutes UNCOVERED. Remove casserole dish from oven and serve hot as a side dish or dessert.
