STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES
In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.

Steps:
- Put scallions in food processor and pulse until finely chopped; remove. Add garlic, ginger and chili to the processor and pulse until minced; remove. Fit the processor with grating blade and grate sweet potatoes.
- Put oil in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic-ginger-chili mixture and fry for 30 seconds. Add half the scallions and all the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; the potatoes need not be fully tender.
- Add soy sauce, toss once, and transfer potatoes to serving platter. Garnish with remaining scallions and serve immediately with additional soy sauce, if desired.

SPICY BEEF AND SWEET-POTATO STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Thinly slice onion and garlic. Peel sweet potatoes and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch -thick slices. Diagonally cut potato slices into thin strips and diagonally halve snow peas. Cut water chestnuts crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper. Diagonally cut scallions into thin slices. In a small bowl stir together broth, hoisin sauce, brandy, and cornstarch until combined well.
- Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling wok or skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and stir-fry until softened. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sweet potatoes and stir-fry until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add snow peas and water chestnuts and stir-fry until snow peas are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok or skillet and heat unrig just smoking. Stir-fry half of beef until browned and transfer to bowl. Add remaining tablespoon peanut oil and stir-fry remaining beef in same manner, transferring to bowl.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces: This will also help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the sweet potatoes will steam instead of fry and they won't get crispy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: This will help prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking.
- Stir-fry the sweet potatoes over high heat: This will help them caramelize and get crispy.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking: This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried spicy sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stir-fried sweet potatoes are crispy, flavorful, and delicious.
