SWEET POTATO-CASHEW BAKE



Sweet Potato-Cashew Bake image

This dish has always been on our Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter menus. You can't go wrong with sweet potatoes that are cooked, sliced, and layered with brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cashews. The whole mixture is then baked and topped with mini marshmallows that brown at the end. Canned yams can be used instead of the sweet potatoes.

SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH LIME PICKLE AND CASHEWS



Sweet Potato Salad With Lime Pickle and Cashews image

Melissa Clark calls for homemade mayonnaise in this richly flavored yet light salad. It's an easy task and well worth doing - but if working with raw eggs makes you squeamish, Hellmann's or Duke's are fine stand-ins. Lime pickle can be found in the South Asian food section of the supermarket. It is spicy, so use a light hand when adding it to the mayonnaise.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO MASH



Curried Sweet Potato Mash image

Sweet potatoes get spiced up! These mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful with added ginger, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, coconut oil, and a dash of turmeric and curry. No sugar or salt is needed for these wonderful root vegetables! Creme fraîche adds a creamy texture and offsets the textures of the onions and garlic. I have never had this dish anywhere but at home as my own creation because I am always looking for ways to incorporate ginger, curry, and turmeric into my diet. I love all of the ingredients!
