SWEET POTATOES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Sweet Potatoes With Mustard Sauce image

Perfumed with fresh thyme sprigs and served with a piquant mustard-sour cream dressing, these baked sweet potatoes hit all the right notes - sweet and velvet fleshed, pleasantly tangy, and herbal. You can stir the sauce together several hours or even the day before, and leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Other herbs - rosemary, tarragon, sage - can fill in for thyme. (To make this recipe vegan, try substituting coconut yogurt or 1/4 cup olive oil for the sour cream.)

Ingredients

2 pounds sweet potatoes (2 large or 4 small potatoes)
1 small bunch of thyme sprigs
1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes into 1-inch-thick slices. Reassemble slices so they look like intact potatoes. Insert a sprig of thyme between each of the slices. Wrap each potato in 2 layers of foil and place on a pie tin, roasting pan or directly on oven rack (seam side up).
Bake potatoes until very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mustard, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Serve potatoes dolloped with mustard sauce.

Tips:

Use russet potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for making sweet potato and bacon tots because they are firm and starchy, which helps them hold their shape when cooked.
Shred the potatoes and bacon finely. This will help the tots cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
Season the tots well. Be sure to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as your favorite herbs and spices.
Cook the tots in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
Serve the tots hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Creamy mustard sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try other sauces, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and bacon tots are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these tots are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
