With its sweet flesh, the sweet potato is an easy vegetable to adopt for the holidays.
The art of seasoning
Like the carrot, the sweet potato is famous for its sweet taste, which you should not hesitate to spice up with spices and aromatics to avoid an overly sweet taste. Garlic, smoked paprika, chorizo, or even cheese are flavors that go wonderfully with this tuber. Indeed, we must not hesitate to contrast it with frank tastes so that it reveals all its potential. If autumn spices suit it perfectly, fresh ginger is also a good idea, as is lemon or coriander. The idea to remember? You always have to enhance the flavor of the sweet potato and season it perfectly.
The different preparations for Christmas
For the Christmas menu, we think of sweet potatoes as a replacement or accompaniment to a festive potato recipe. Two potatoes that complement each other perfectly! They are combined, for example, in a creamy puree or a generous gratin. Another suggestion: sweet potato fries, ultra-crispy, which go wonderfully with long-roasted poultry. They can also be prepared simply sautéed with spices. Sometimes, especially at Christmas, there is no need to make tons to please the table. The simplest things are the best, remember! And everyone likes mashed potatoes, Christmas gratins, fries, and even croquettes. This is good, since these are the following 10 recipes.
Bon appetit and above all Merry Christmas!
