I'm learning how to cook sweet potato
White, yellow, orange or purple, there are several varieties of Sweet potatoes. For more vitamins, trace elements and color, I choose the Yam orange or purple. The advantage of Yam on our traditional potato is that you do not need to peel it. No more chores of potatoes, they are simply peeled with a knife, they are brushed a little and they are ready.

But what can we do well with the Yam ? Well, it replaces the tuber, our potato in all receipts that we know and much more. With its sweet and slightly sweet taste, it is the assured trip to the West Indies. Imagine a little soup at the Yam with a little crème fraîche, or Greek yogurt for a little more light and grated fresh ginger. It's immediately terribly original and exotic! We can revisit others receipts classics such as Dauphinois gratin by alternating layers of Sweet potatoes with mimolette and sprinkled with crushed nature pistachio. French fries, potato chips and baked potatoes have an original side when they are made with Yam.
Sweet potato in patties
Or else, let's just cook roasted pancakes. Sweet potatoesthey are pressed with a cloth to remove the excess juice and mixed with egg, flour and some spices. The pancakes are browned in the pan and ready to eat. But if you fancy a small West Indian meal, cut the tubers into cubes before cooking them with baby onions and pieces of squash in coconut milk. You add a small clove, cinnamon, pepper and salt.
A vegetable for dessert
With the Yamyou can afford everything from starter to dessert. Yes yes, the Yam and its sweetness makes marvels in entremet, marmalade, pudding, but also in biscuits of any kind and even in ice cream. To test no?
