Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs bright-orange sweet potatoes, peeled,cut into 2 inch pieces (about 3 medium)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, finely diced
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese or 1/4 cup cream cheese (2 oz)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Boil sweet potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water over medium-high heat 15-20 minutes or until very tender.
  • Drain sweet potatoes; return to saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot.
  • Add pancetta; cook 2-3 minutes or until pancetta begins to brown.
  • Add onion; cook 15-20 minutes or until onions are caramelized, stirring frequently.
  • Adjust heat, if necessary, to prevent onions from browning too quickly.
  • Add vinegar; stir, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet.
  • Over very low heat, mash sweet potatoes.
  • Add mascarpone, salt and pepper.
  • Stir in onion mixture.
  • *Noteyou can use bacon if you don't have pancetta available.
  • Just cook the bacon in a medium pot of boiling water 1 minute.
  • Drain and rinse until cool.
  • Blanching helps remove some of the smoky flavor from the bacon.

I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The caramelized onions and pancetta added a wonderful flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes. I'll definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The caramelized onions and pancetta were delicious, though, and I think this dish would be great for someone who likes sweet potatoes.
