Sweet Potato Stir Fry

[geraldinebacalso]

I hope I could buy my self a food processor, I would prefer using it than using the manual hand grating of sweet potatoes, it sometimes hurts my fingers.

I want to get a food processor that can handle that without spending more than I need to. Some of the mini ones like Cuisinart DLC-4CHB - it's a best seller on Amazon for $50 but I'm worried it wouldn't be able to handle the potato. Anybody recommend any particular models?

@epolatty I'm sure it's fine. I got the ultra cheap ($29.99) Black and Decker from Target and I shredded 12 sweet potatoes just yesterday for the company Thanksgiving potluck. I actually made this exact recipe, except I went ahead and minced the garlic.

that looks tasty

[healthyvegan]

nice simple recipe, thanks for posting! I sent a video of a simple sweet potato dish I make that's healthy & vegan. Also - yams generally aren't sold in North America, although the signs always call the orange sweet potatoes yams - these are for sure sweet potatoes! ;)

Mm... I love sweet potatoes! Nice recipe, although the amount of butter would make it a tad too rich for my liking.

And with regards to the yam-or-sweet potato confusion amongst some of the responders: the internet is at your fingertips. Go eradicate your ignorance!! This tuber with the yellow-orange flesh is a sweet potato, and NOT a yam.

[absref71]

Yup its a yam... Its amazing how many americans call yams sweet potatoes, so what do u guys call the actual sweet potatoes? (the ones with the purpleish skin and whiter insides)

[fleebenworth]

@absref71 you are confused

[absref71]

@fleebenworth google images, have a look

[fleebenworth]

@absref71 Yams are from Africa and much larger than sweet potatoes. Also they tend to be white or purple as opposed to orange.

isnt dat a yam?

[witchdoctor88]

This is a great recipe. I used basil from a spice jar instead of sage, 'cuz hey, nothing else around, and it was incredible.

To the crazies down below talking about yams, American grocers often call sweet potatoes "yams." A yam, in the correct sense, is a big-ass poisonous tuber that keeps for long periods of time... staple food in Africa... you have to cook it to remove the poison. Those "garnet yams" in your local supermarket are sweet potatoes.

Sadly, the point of the video was missed entirely. This is an amazing recipe and will make sweet potato (or yam) lovers out of haters. The taste is unlike anything typically served for holiday meals.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes and my sweet potato/yam-hating family loves it. I can never make enough.

[laughingspeakers]

it's a sweet potato. Real yams are totally different.

[cloudgiant]

STOP! XD

[offgridjoe]

That is a YAM,. NOT a SWEET POTATO !!!

[walksbyf8h]

Please! Tell me how to tell the difference. I think that I'm only seeing one item at every store.

[fleebenworth]

No, actually this is not a Yam.

[offgridjoe]

I guess you don't know the difference, or just won't admit it.

[fleebenworth]

Yes, I guess you don't know the difference and and just won't admit it.

[fleebenworth]

For the record, yams do not have orange flesh nor are they as sweet as sweet potatoes. Orange sweet potatoes received the 'yam' appellation as a combination of slave culture(who might have been familiar with african yams) and marketing(look at these new orange yams!)

[mrmorganmusic]

No salt, Mark? Hmmmmm....

[foreverandcounting88]

you guys shud see my bros sweet potato an nutmeg hotpot it blows this shite outta the water.....

[pixelpunk]

Though I enjoyed your post, I think you spent more time on it than Mark did his sweet potato stir fry.

[chuckNorrisaaaaa]

Meh.

Im a minimalist in life, but definitely not when it comes to the kitchen.

[melonbarmonster]

You've never had a thanksgiving spread before have you?

[chuckNorrisaaaaa]

I have, but what exactly does that have to do with anything?

Gotta love one liners. Just vague enough to sound stupid, and stupid enough to make you annoyed, all without actually saying anything.

You could've said, ''you've never french kissed a banjo playing squirrel, have you?''. Because they both contain the amount of intelligable information, while conveying the same amount of 'point'.

So my full answer to you is, ''you aren't the sharpest nail in the bunch, are you?''.

Dum dee dum.
