GRILLED SWEET POTATO AND MANGO SALAD

The following is an excerpt from the book Grill! by Pippa Cuthbert & Lindsay Cameron Wilson.

A sweet, succulent and refreshing salad.


1 sweet potato, peeled
1 large mango, skin removed


For the dressing:

3 Tbsp olive oil
4 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp grated lime rind
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
? tsp extra-fine sugar
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 head Bibb or Boston (round) lettuce
? cup (10g) fresh mint

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium.
Chop both the sweet potato and mango flesh into long wedges, about ?-in (2cm) wide, ?-in (1 cm) thick. Place in separate dishes.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and pour half over the mango and potato.

With tongs in hand, arrange sweet potato wedges directly over the grill and leave for 6-8 minutes, until grill marks appear and the bottom sides begin to soften. Turn and grill the other side for a further 6 minutes. While the other sides are cooking, arrange the mango wedges directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer all the wedges to a cutting board and cut into cubes. Place them in a bowl and toss with the remaining dressing.

Arrange lettuce leaves on salad plates. Scatter the sweet potato and mango over the lettuce and add a sprinkling of sea salt and finely sliced mint.

Serves 4-6.

Delicious Sweet Potato Pie Recipe


Sweet potatoes were another staple I
grew up with. They were fairly inexpensive
and were great baked or put in a pie. Baked
potateos were just eaten with a little butter.

To make a potato pie, you need:

4 large potatoes
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 store-bought pie crust
or your can just line a pan with vanilla wafers
instead
1/2 cup milk


Boil the potatoes until tender. When you stick a
fork in them it should go in easy but you don't
want them to fall apart.

Let the potatoes cool and then peel them.

Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and
mash them thoroughly with a potatoe masher.
Melt the butter and pour it and the other
ingredients in the bowl of potatoes. Stir
until well mixed.

Whether you used a ready made pie crust or
just cookies, pour the potatoes mixture
into the crust.

Put into an oven preheated to 375 degrees.
Cook for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out dry.

I like to eat the pie while still hot. It's
good cold too though.

If you want you can make a meringue topping by
blending confectionary sugar with egg whites.
After the pie is almost done, spread the
meringue thinly across the top. Continue baking
until the meringue turns light brown. If you
use the meiangue, you can add the egg yokes
to the pie if you like.

My mom's smashed sweet potatoes...she adds bourbon and marshmallows.

I like to stick it in the oven and slice it open and put on a little brown sugar.

The Canned kind, with the sweet sugary stuff for Thanksgiving.

Really don't like them, but that's as close as I get.

Oh topped with marshmallows.

Sweet Potato Croquettes!
Make sweet mashed, add Parmesan cheese and egg to the recipe. This will make them a bit thicker. Scoop into balls. Freeze for a while. When hard take them out and bread them. Flour, egg wash and bread crumbs. I find that Panko crumbs work best! (Japanese bread crumbs) Deep fry them or pan fry. They are crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside!! SOOOOOO GOOOD!! ENJOY!
