Vitamin-rich, colorful, sweet, sweet potatoes brighten up our seasonal dishes.
Among the most popular fall vegetables — among squash, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage — the sweet potato is one loved by foodies. But why do we love it so much? For two main reasons: its resemblance to its cousin – which is not a cousin! – the potato; and its addictive sweetness.
What recipe to cook with sweet potatoes in autumn?
In the kitchen, we adapt all the classic potato recipes using this tuber which grows underground, and so cleverly bears the name “potato”. Mashed potatoes, fries, gratin, gnocchi, all the recipes usually prepared with potatoes can be reinvented with sweet potatoes. With its sweet taste, it adds a lot of deliciousness to our preparations. We even think of it as a dessert in cake batter with chocolate.
To balance its sweet flavor, we pair it with a perfectly seasonal dish, our national pride, king cheese. We are thinking of her for our raclette evenings which will soon arrive. Feta is also perfect with simply oven-roasted sweet potatoes. But the latter also has a happy marriage with charcuterie. Our favorite association? The sweet potato-chorizo mixture — at the same time, chorizo goes well with all the flavors of fall and winter! —, Spanish charcuterie awakens the orange-fleshed vegetable with its spices.
