SWEET POTATOES GLAZED WITH MOLASSES, PECANS AND BOURBON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the bourbon and cook for 2 minutes to allow alcohol to burn out. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the potatoes in a large baking dish, pour the molasses mixture over and toss to coat. Roast in the oven, stirring a few times, until the potatoes are cooked through and glazed, about 20 minutes. Remove to a platter and top with the pecans.
- Alternatively, this can be done in a large saute pan: Melt the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne over medium heat. Add the bourbon and let the alcohol cook out. Add the potatoes and cook until glazed over medium-high heat. Transfer to a platter and top with the pecans.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven.
- Put sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover, and microwave 2 minutes. Stir gently, cover, and microwave 1 to 2 minutes more until pieces are pliable. Let rest 5 minutes covered; pour onto a platter.
- In a 4-quart saucepan over medium, heat oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. In a large bowl, gradually whisk the cornstarch into the beer (if you whisk it together all at once, it will get too thick). Working with a handful at a time, dip potatoes into the mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Add to the hot oil and fry in three or four batches until dark golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries to oven while cooking the remaining batches.
- Place the fries in a large clean bowl, add the Mediterranean Spice mix, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add sweet potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until they change color and begin to brown, then stir more frequently until they are tender but not at all mushy.
- Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sage; shake pan occasionally. When butter turns brown, turn off heat.
- Use tongs to remove sage and garlic from butter. Serve potatoes drizzled with butter and garnished with a few sage leaves. Garlic can be served alongside, though it will not be super-soft.

FRIED SWEET POTATOES
Most of my experiments aren't worth saving, but I actually want to remember what I did this time so am posting the recipe for the brown sugar caramelized sweet potatoes that I made. This recipe is perfect for cooking for 1-2, and only takes a few minutes. I used some very skinny home grown sweet potatoes I picked up at a Farmer's Market and recommend you use potatoes that will slice into small discs rather than huge ones.

Steps:
- Slice the sweet potatoes thinly, approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
- Melt butter in a large hot frying pan over medium-high heat, then places slices in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt.
- Fry the potatoes until lightly browned on one side, then flip over each slice. You'll need to watch them carefully and move the slices in the hottest part of the pan to the edges so that they all get browned. Adjust the heat down to medium if needed to keep them from browning too quickly. Total browning time took me about 5-7 minutes.
- When both sides are lightly browned, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the top. Wait 1-2 minutes and then toss the potatoes until the brown sugar is caramelized (approx 1 more minute).
- Remove from pan and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Select firm, evenly-shaped sweet potatoes for frying to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Soak the sweet potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Pat the sweet potato slices dry before frying. This will help them crisp up.
- Fry the sweet potato slices in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Drain the sweet potato slices on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season the sweet potato fries with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings while they are still hot.
- Serve the sweet potato fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
