Candy potatoes are the star of this present
My favourite vegetable is so splendidly versatile. Wholesome too! Candy potatoes are a incredible supply of fiber, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and much extra. For this easy recipe I roast the candy potatoes, and whereas they’re within the oven, throw collectively this fast chili lime glaze. This recipe was impressed by candied yams (soul meals model, so with out the marshmallows), and the sticky glazed candy potatoes I get at a Korean meals corridor in NYC.
Chili Garlic Sauce
I take advantage of the traditional Huy Fong chili garlic sauce that’s out there at most grocery shops within the US. It’s spicy however not over powering, and pairs nicely in additional complicated sauces. When you can’t discover this ingredient domestically, order some on-line or use one other model.
Plenty of Lime
Ever really feel like a dish is lacking one thing? It’s nicely salted and seasoned, however one thing simply isn’t proper? Add a bit of acid and your drawback is solved. Lime provides tartness and tang whereas balancing out the candy and salty flavors.

The 1st step
I start this recipe by roasting the candy potatoes in a bit of oil and salt. For the tastiest candy potatoes you will need to roast them for no less than 45 minutes (relying on the dimensions they’re reduce) to get some caramelizing of sugars and crispiness on the perimeters. As soon as they’re golden, aromatic, and fork tender the potatoes are performed.
Step two
Whereas the candy potatoes bake make the glaze. Sauté garlic and ginger in sesame oil earlier than including the liquid substances. Stir within the cornstarch and water to thicken and create a sticky glaze for the potatoes.
Step three
Toss the roasted candy potatoes within the chili lime glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds and inexperienced onions. Serve scorching!
Ideas for the proper candy potatoes
- Partially peel the potatoes as an alternative of eradicating all the pores and skin. The pores and skin is the place lots of the vitamins are. Simply give the candy potatoes a great scrubbing earlier than you slice them.
- Prep and measure your glaze substances earlier than you start the sauce. You need to keep away from burning the garlic and evaporating the liquids earlier than the glaze is full. I estimate it’ll solely take you 5 minutes to make, so be prepped and prepared.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice. Retailer-bought lime juice pales as compared. If squeezing citrus isn’t your factor, get your self a citrus squeeze or citrus reamer.
- Roast the candy potatoes till they’re tender with golden brown edges. Bonus factors if in case you have some sugars escaping the perimeters of your candy potato slices. Extra taste!
- For this recipe particularly––however actually this is applicable to most––roasting is healthier than boiling. If you roast the candy potatoes you convey out extra pure sweetness, nuttiness, and earthy goodness. There are occasions when it’s useful to parboil candy potatoes (like for candied yams, aka candied candy potatoes), however this isn’t certainly one of them.
- This recipe is very easy to make you may hold it coated with foil and heat within the oven at 250° till you’re able to serve it. Any leftovers will be reheated within the microwave, on the range over medium warmth, or within the toaster oven.
- When you plan on serving the candy potatoes in one thing like a platter or casserole dish you may make the marinade in a small saucepan. I made mine in a forged iron skillet as a result of I needed to serve the potatoes in there as nicely.
Easy swaps
- Japanese or Caribbean candy potatoes work nicely too. They’re starchier and even sweeter. I barely favor the orange candy potatoes as a result of they’re softer and creamier.
- Use this scrumptious glaze on any roasted root greens.
retailer glazed candy potatoes
Retailer leftovers within the fridge for as much as 5 days. When you’d prefer to freeze this dish, freeze the roasted candy potatoes and chili lime glaze individually. As soon as the substances thaw, toss them to coat in a skillet.
