SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI
This thick, smoky vegan chili comes together in just under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off simmering. You can use any kind of sweet potato here - keep in mind that the orange or garnet "yam" you see at the grocery store is actually a sweet potato - but you could also switch it up and use any peeled sweet winter squash, like butternut or kabocha. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor, which plays well with the orange juice, choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil; for a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy. (Get the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring and adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the brown sugar, cumin, garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the orange juice and let it come to a simmer. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes and lime juice. Season generously with black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil.
- Once the chili comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

GRILLED POTATO WEDGES WITH HOT GARLIC, RED CHILI, PARMESAN AND PARSLEY
Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook the potatoes until tender, but still firm, about 40 minutes. The potatoes must be cooked through and fork tender, but still holding their shape. Drain and put on a cutting board. Let cool, then cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Brush the potatoes with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until it begins to shimmer. Remove from the heat and immediately add the garlic, red chili flakes and parsley and let sit for 1 minute. Season the oil with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle over the potatoes. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato chili because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy. If you use a different type of potato, such as Yukon Golds or red potatoes, they may fall apart in the chili.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: You want the potatoes to be tender but still have a little bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans add different flavors and textures to chili. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices. You can also use a combination of beans.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add flavor and color to chili. Bell peppers, onions, and corn are all good choices. You can also use other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make potato chili. You can adjust the ingredients and seasonings to suit your own taste. For example, you can add more or less chili powder, cumin, or garlic. You can also add other ingredients, such as cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
Conclusion:
Potato chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give potato chili a try.
