Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup fat-free sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.

CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO TART



Caramelized Onion Potato Tart image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
  • Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
  • Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter.
  • Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
  • Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
  • Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 pound onions, thinly sliced
1 cup pure maple syrup

  • Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes.

SWEET POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONION



Sweet Potatoes With Caramelized Onion image

I fail to remember where this recipe first appeared but chances are it was from Canadian Living magazine. This simple dish is much richer than you would expect and pairs well with grilled meats especially lamb and pork. Since sweet potatoes are very moist, adjust the amount of sour cream or milk to your taste. I do recall that the original recipe recommended placing the sweet potatoes and onion mixture in a food processor until blended. I found this method too gluey and altered it as stated.

Provided by Highland Lass

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
3 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream (Carnation low fat works very well) or 1/4 cup milk (Carnation low fat works very well)
salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400º.
  • Heat olive oil in frying pan at medium heat and add onion. Sauté until rings separate. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking uncovered, until onions are soft and caramelized at least 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, prick whole potatoes with skins on and bake in roasting pan for 40 minutes or until soft. When cool enough to handle peel skins from potatoes and set aside.
  • When onions are soft add thyme, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. At this point you can either place the onions in a food processor and pulse until they are slightly chunky or chop with a sharp knife.
  • Heat a medium sized pot and add butter. Add the sweet potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the sour cream or milk a little at a time then add the onion mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated and adjust S & P to taste.

SWEET POTATO AND CARAMELIZED ONION HASH WITH BAKED EGGS



Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Hash with Baked Eggs image

Prep the savory hash and refrigerate in individual ramekins for a quick and easy breakfast; just top with an egg and bake.

Provided by Sara Kate Gillingham

Categories     Egg     Onion     Side     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 to 3 large yellow onions (about 2 lb), halved, thinly sliced, then halved again
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 lb), skin intact, chopped into 1/4"-1/2" cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp (packed) finely minced fresh rosemary or oregano leaves
4 to 6 large eggs
shaved Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onions and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. (Don't worry if they are crammed into the pan; they will rapidly cook down.) Lower heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally (reduce heat further if they seem to be burning), until dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes, oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, smoked paprika, a generous helping of black pepper, and minced rosemary or oregano in a large bowl. Stir in onions.
  • Spread sweet potato mixture on prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 425°. Spread a relatively thin layer of the cooked sweet potato hash in individual ramekins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Make small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until hash is hot and eggs are baked to your preference. Test the eggs by prodding them with a fork to check the firmness of the white and the runniness of the yolk.
  • Serve immediately, with Parmesan, if desired.

Tips for Making Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Skillet

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the vegetables plenty of room to caramelize and brown.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many vegetables to the skillet, they will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Add a splash of vinegar or white wine: This will help to deglaze the skillet and add a bit of acidity to the dish.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion

Caramelized onion and sweet potato skillet is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
