Martha Stewart Sweet Potatoes Recipes

MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Fill with enough water to come just below basket; bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Place sweet potatoes in steamer basket and cover; steam until tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain, and return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring half-and-half, butter, and brown sugar to a simmer, stirring to combine; remove from heat. Add to drained sweet potatoes, and mash just until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 15-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water; place over high heat and bring to a boil. Fit saucepan with a steamer basket, add sweet potatoes, and cover. Steam until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. You may need to add more water as sweet potatoes steam. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly before removing skins by rubbing potatoes with a paper towel.
• Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the sweet potatoes are well mashed and any stringy pieces of sweet potato have wrapped themselves around the paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment, wipe clean, and return to mixer.
• With the mixer on low speed, add butter, and beat until well combined and cooled slightly. Slowly add sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until well combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Transfer to oven and bake until center has set, 45 to 50 minutes.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in center position.
• Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with the tines of a fork and bake in oven, directly on rack, until soft and caramelizing, 1 1/2 hours.
• Slash the tops of potatoes open with the tip of a sharp knife and push ends of each potato toward each other to open. Divide butter, salt, and pepper among potatoes and serve.

MARTHA STEWART SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400. Generously butter a 2 quart casserole and set aside. Bake potatoes until almost tender 25-30 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Slip off skins. Cut potatoes into 1 1/2 inch thick rounds, and transfer to a large bowl. Add 5 T butter, 5 t brown sugar, cinnamon and cayenne pepper; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine; set aside. Melt the remaining 2 T of butter in a medium saute pan set over medium high heat. Add the remaining 2 T brown sugar and the pecans. Cook, stirring occasionally until the pecans have been coated and have caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the pecans to the sweet potato mixture and gently stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared casserole and bake stirring 2 or 3 times until potatoes are caramelized and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve. Oy it's good!
