BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH OLIVES, FETA, AND CHILE
Baking intensifies the sweetness of sweet potatoes and gives the bright orange flesh a kind of fluffiness-light and soft at the same time. Sweet potato is terrific combined with salty olives, creamy feta, and hot Chile pepper. Once they're baked, you can easily keep them in the fridge for days, or you can use them to make a quick, flavorful soup.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub, rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Pour a little olive oil on to your palms and rub this over the unpeeled sweet potatoes.
- Next, rub in some coarse salt. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times on all sides using a small sharp knife, then wrap them in tin foil and bake for an hour (or a little longer, if necessary) until done. Use half of them immediately and leave the rest to cool.
- Place the sweet potato(es) on a plate and open the foil. Cut in half lengthways, then press on the outside of the halves so that the fluffy flesh bulges out slightly. Crumble the feta over the sweet potato(es), top with the olives, chile pepper and cilantro, and drizzle generously with olive oil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
- Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave the sweet potatoes until they feel soft when gently squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Cut in half lengthwise, creating oblong shapes. Select the nicest two halves for using as the base. Scoop them with a teaspoon, leaving a 1/4-inch border and placing the pulp in a mixing bowl. Place the bases on the lined sheet pan. Scoop out the other two halves completely and add the pulp to the mixing bowl, discarding the skins. Add the white scallions, coconut oil, paprika, 1/8 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth. Using a teaspoon, fill the two bases with the mashed sweet potatoes. Smooth with the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with feta and bake until the cheese begins to brown, about 17 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the green scallions and additional smoked paprika.

NON- CREAMY POTATO BAKE WITH FETA AND OLIVES
This is an unusual but extremely tasty potato bake, my family find it a welcome change from the usual creamy bake. Rich in colour and flavour, I often also add thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes to this, about 100g, which lends a nice tang. It comes from The Vegetarian Kitchen. NB no matter how I try, in the ingredient list, 'potatoes' is showing up as 'potato'.... its supposed to be plural! That would be one BIG potato!!
