"JMA" wrote in message ... "SusanLewis" wrote in message ... Heres the other problem.. My husband came into the kitchen and decided to tell me how to cook (LOL) and he said he heard that sweet potatos were awesome french fried.. so I pan fried a few just like I would have done white potatos. I fried them in regular vegetable oil and they cooked quickly, and browned much quicker than regular potatos. Any recipes simple or hard for suggestions? You can shoestring them and do them in the broiler w/ Pam or other cooking spray to get them french fry like without so much calories. Otherwise I just bake them like regular potatoes and have a little "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" Spray and some cinnamon. Jenn I like them baked in the oven, too. I haven't tried the shoestring method. That would require some peeling and cutting and I swore when I left home I would never peel another potato - sweet or otherwiseg Beverly |

Jenn unless it's cucumbers (with hummus!) |

Yams come in several different colors. The white flesh yams are not common to my area. They're yellow here and yellow similiar to the sweet potato. Must be a local thing, then, as our yams, imported from the West Indies, are white with a brown skin, and our sweet potatoes are orange with a red skin! Quite different vegetables..... -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88.5/80kg |

"SusanLewis" wrote in message ... Just like my sumertime WOE I am trying to incorperate the veggies from my garden and what is in season into my WOE. In the spring and summer it was yellow squash, acorn squash, zuchinni, tomatos, etc. Here's my problem.. Fitday doesn't have "sweet potatos" they have Yam's - Same thing??? Heres the other problem.. My husband came into the kitchen and decided to tell me how to cook (LOL) and he said he heard that sweet potatos were awesome french fried.. so I pan fried a few just like I would have done white potatos. I fried them in regular vegetable oil and they cooked quickly, and browned much quicker than regular potatos. I'm assuming due to a higher sugar content? The tasted great, but I am going to have to really limit myself on them. (the rest of the family loved them and vowed to never eat another white potato french fry hehe)Any suggestions on using sweet potatos in my WOE? I am looking at my garden.. from the looks of my plants.. I am gonna have a bushel basket of them. Also, pumpkin, more winter squash, carrots(second planting) sweet corn, radish, peas, green beans, leeks, onion, beets, mustand greens, spinach. Fortunatly here in Texas we get nice temps until November or so without frost. Any recipes simple or hard for suggestions? Thanks in advance Susan 280/188/140 We don't really have yams in the US. Sweet potatoes do come in two different colors. I like the deep red ones. I like them baked, boiled, broiled, grilled, fried, mashed...you name it. Cook them as you would a white potato. If you want to get fancy, take a pound of sweet potatoes. Peel and boil until soft. Whip with blender. Add two large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper and a teeny bit of cinnamon. Place in baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 or until top is a little browned. It's like a sweet potato souffle! Really good! Martha |
