Baked Sweet Potatoes with Maple Crème Fraîche

The Flavor Approach: Butter works as the fat of choice here due to its higher smoke point. As the butter melts, it separates into its constituents—fat, water, sugars, and milk solids—which undergo caramelization and the Maillard reaction.
The sugars concentrate as the water evaporates during cooking. Fish sauce adds a spot of umami to the sauce, you can use vegan fish sauce as an alternative. The peanuts and scallions provide crunch against the softer textures of the potato and the dressing

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes under running tap water. Slice them lengthwise and place them in a roasting pan, cut side facing up. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with salt.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 3
Cover the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil and press around the edges to seal snugly. Bake for 20 minutes.
- 4
After 20 minutes, remove the foil, baste the sweet potatoes with the rest of the butter, if any. Flip them, and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes more, until the sweet potatoes are cooked thoroughly and are tender; a knife inserted into the center of the sweet potato should slide through easily. The cut side should be soft and sweet and the butter should have caramelized.
- 5
Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 6
To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche, maple syrup, lime juice, fish sauce, if using, and pepper. Taste and season with salt.
- 7
To serve, top the warm roasted potatoes with a few tablespoons of the maple crème fraîche dressing. Sprinkle with the scallions, peanuts, red chilli flakes, and lime zest. Serve with the extra dressing on the side.

Smooth Sweet Potato Cream Smooth Sweet Potato Cream
I love potatoes, so when I see sweet potatoes I always buy them! This is a tasty way to use them up.1) The amount of sweet potato is its weight after being steamed and peeled.2) As for the sugar, I usually add 1/4 the amount of the sweet potato, but this time I wanted to reduce the sweetness, so I used around 1/5.

Baked Sweet Potato Cakes Baked Sweet Potato Cakes
In Japan, when my mother-in-law was still alive, she often steamed sweet potatoes, mashed them finely, then mixed them with condensed milk, butter, brushed with egg, and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. She would bake the cakes in the oven. The aroma of baked sweet potatoes mixed with milk, butter, and sesame filled the small kitchen... The first New Year without her 😥 Missing her, I made baked sweet potato cakes again... Join me in the kitchen to make baked sweet potato cakes. It's not just traditional sweets for the New Year, baked sweet potato cakes enjoyed with a hot cup of tea are also delightful 😍
