Sweet potato tips
Also known as ‘kumara’, sweet potato is generally found in Australia in the colours of orange, purple and white. Sweet potatoes are not really potatoes at all, they belong to a different family of plants. However, they can be cooked in the same ways. Boil and mash, slice and fry, bake in their skins, roast, turn into soup or a salad, take off thin strips with a vegetable-peeler and deep-fry for crisps.
What to serve with sweet potatoes
Orange sweet potatoes have dry, dense, nutty-sweet flesh. They work beautifully when roasted with maple syrup and extra virgin olive oil. Sweet potato has an affinity with spices and strong or smoky flavours. Also, they are good mashed with cumin or garlic, used in a vegetable curry with cauliflower, peas and onion.
Choosing and storing tips
When selecting sweet potatoes, they should be undamaged, firm, evenly coloured and heavy for their size. Do not refrigerate your sweet potatoes. Instead, store potatoes in a well-ventilated place away from heat and light. Use the sweet potatoes in these recipes within a week of purchasing them.
