SWEET POTATOES WITH TAHINI BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket or footed colander. Place sweet potatoes in the steamer. Cover, reduce heat to medium and steam until potatoes are completely tender, 35 to 40 minutes. (Use a skewer or paring knife to check for doneness; the potatoes should be soft all the way through.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk butter, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic until smooth. It might seem as if the butter and liquids will never fully combine, but they will - just keep stirring! Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more lime juice as needed.
• Set a small pan over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds, swirling the pan continuously, until seeds are golden. They'll give off some oil and start to clump together, so if needed, stir with a wooden spoon to keep them moving so that they toast evenly. They'll turn a nice deep-golden shade just as they dry off a bit, about 4 minutes. Transfer seeds to a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
• When the sweet potatoes are tender, use tongs to transfer them to a large plate or platter. When they are just cool enough to handle, split potatoes in half lengthwise, and season with flaky salt. Spread tahini butter generously onto the flesh, and top with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CINNAMON BUTTER

• Serve each potato with 2 coin size slices of butter.

BROWN BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

• Peel the potatoes, rinse in cold water and cut into fourths. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Swirl the pan as you go, stopping when the solids turn medium to deep golden brown.
• Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. With the burner on low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato masher; the more steam that's released while you mash, the better. Mash for about 5 minutes. Turn off the burner.
• Add the cream cheese, half-and-half, cream, some salt and pepper and three-quarters of the brown butter to the pot and stir to combine. If the mixture needs thinning, add some milk. Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the remaining brown butter over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC, MINT AND BUTTER

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine butter, horseradish, parsley, dill, panko, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Close the bag, pressing out most of the air. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth, then use a ruler or the back edge of a knife to scrape and work the butter to the bottom of the bag so it forms a log, rolling it as you go. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up, or up to 1 week.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (there is no need to peel unless you dislike the skins). Potatoes can be roasted up to 2 days ahead; wrap and chill, then slice them just before using.
• Arrange rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet and count how many you have. Slice enough thin slabs of butter from the log so that you have one per potato slice, and place butter on top of potato slices.
• Move the oven rack so that it's 4 inches away from the broiler. Bake potatoes at 350 degrees until they are heated through and the butter is softened, 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how cold the potatoes were. Adjust oven temperature to broil, and broil until the butter is golden brown at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs and fresh horseradish if you like.

FINGERLING POTATOES WITH TARRAGON CHIVE BUTTER

• Place a steamer insert in a large pot. Add enough water to reach the bottom of the steamer. Add in potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil; steam until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Transfer garlic butter to a mini food processor. Add remaining butter, creme fraiche, chives, and tarragon; pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain potatoes and place in a bowl. Gently break open using the back of a large spoon, but do not mash. Mix in about 1/2 of the garlic-herb butter. Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Poke sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place them all directly on the oven rack. Roast until they are very tender, with bits of sweet potato sugar caramelizing in the spots they've been poked, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat, swirling the pot just until the butter starts to bubble and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the honey, vinegar and red pepper flakes, swirling to combine (it will bubble up quite a bit), and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Once the sweet potatoes are out of the oven, slit them down the middle. Warm the browned butter mixture, and pour over the sweet potatoes. (Alternatively, scoop the flesh out of the skins and transfer to a bowl or serving dish, then drizzle with the browned butter sauce.) Generously sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
