Tonight I am cooking for my beloved Dinner Group. There are five of us and we love to eat and be together. (I'm not counting all the dogs in this group! But we love them, too.)
Here's tonight's menu:
Halibut Steaks in Lemon Butter
Stir-Fried Sweet Potatoes
My biscuits
Here's the Stir-Fried Sweet Potato Recipe:
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and grated, 4 to 6 cups
Salt and pepper
1/2 stick butter, more to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
20 sage leaves.
1. Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add sweet potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until they change color and begin to brown, then stir more frequently until they are tender but not at all mushy.
2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sage; shake pan occasionally. When butter turns brown, turn off heat.
3. Use tongs to remove sage and garlic from butter. Serve potatoes drizzled with butter and garnished with a few sage leaves. Garlic can be served alongside, though it will not be super-soft.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Never having heard of sir-frying sweet potatoes, I was skeptical, but it sounds much more flavorful than plain mashed. However, I am Methodist and prefer mine with marshmallows.
NO NO, no marshmallows EVER
richard, you are making me salivate!!!
Hindsight is 20-20. The sweet potatoes were awful. But the sage-infused butter is wonderful and could easily be poured on any roasted veggies.
