Pan-Fried Sweet Potatoes with Cream Sauce

A tasty, out-of-the-ordinary dinner for the family, made from an unusual vegetable! I love sweet potatoes in any form, but they're especially delicious fried. They taste like a cross between a potato and winter squash — with a little carrot thrown in, too. They make a great side dish or a meal on their own, say, with a sauce. Shall we get started?

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into batons. Heat a skillet with the vegetable oil and add the cut sweet potatoes. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and your favorite spices over the top. Fry over medium heat until tender. There's no need to cover the pan. It's important not to stir the sweet potatoes too often, or they'll break apart just like regular potatoes would. Wait until the bottoms are crusty, then flip them to the other side. The sweet potatoes are done when the batons are golden and crisp on the outside and soft inside. While they fry, make the sauce. Finely grate the cheese. Set a small saucepan over low heat and sprinkle the flour across the bottom. Keep it on the heat, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a nice golden color. Add the clarified butter, stir, and cook for a minute. Now pour in the cream, stirring without stopping until it thickens. As you go, add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Once it has thickened, stir in the grated cheese and cook another 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and even. Divide the fried sweet potatoes among serving plates and serve hot with the sauce. Enjoy!
