Baked Sweet Potatoes with Scallions and Cilantro
4 small slender sweet potatoes (2 lb total)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Prick potatoes several times with a fork and put directly on oven rack in middle position. Put a sheet of foil on lower
rack (to catch any drips) and heat oven to 450°F. Bake potatoes until soft when squeezed, 30 to 35 minutes.
Mash together butter, scallions, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Slit potatoes lengthwise and put some butter mixture in
center of each.
Fried Japanese Sweet Potatoes
1 pound sweet potatoes
1/3 cup sugar (optional)
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tsp sesame seeds
Vegetable oil for frying
Cut sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Heat the oil and fry the sweet potatoes at 350F until brown. Mix water,
sugar, and soy sauce in a pan. Put the pan on low heat. When the liquid turns sticky, remove from the heat and add
fried sweet potatoes. Quickly mix the potatoes with the sticky sugar. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the coated sweet
potatoes.
Sweet Potato Hash
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

then cook sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking,
then cook sausage, stirring occasionally and breaking up large lumps, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add onion
and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes, then add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally,
until tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add sausage mixture, cilantro, salt, and pepper to potatoes in skillet and toss to combine, then transfer to a large
shallow serving dish and keep warm in oven while you prepare eggs. (Wipe out nonstick skillet with a paper towel.)
4. Carefully break eggs into a bowl without breaking yolks.
5. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then
