Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes

I posted the recipe for Crash Hot Potatoes a while back…….and honestly, it’s the best potatoes recipe of all time. OF ALL TIME! I will accept no argument on that. They’re so good, they’ll make you slap your mama. But then, oh my…….I came across Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes from Dlyn. Oh. My. WORD. Honey, if the regular ones make you slap your mama, these might end you up in prison. They are my favorite! I can eat the whole pan. Barry prefers the regular ones, and I like these best…..but we’re not turning down either of them. And strangely, I never have any leftovers.

Before you get started cutting potatoes, you might want to boil your water so it’s ready to go. It will cut down on your wait time……just grab a big pot and fill it with water. Add salt, because we all know that potatoes without salt is like baked oatmeal without syrup.

So, you need sweet potatoes, salt, olive oil, butter, brown sugar (I use sucanat), cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. These spices are going to come together and make magic.

When the water is boiling, add the potatoes. They need to be peeled and sliced pretty thick. I think these are like 1 inch thick. The recipe states  1 ¼ inches thick…..so, just guesstimate. You only need to boil them until they start to get soft….don’t boil them until they’re done because we have to bake them. Try 12 minutes and then test them. Mine were perfect after that time.

While the potatoes are boiling, mix your spices together in a small bowl. I used my hands to do it to make sure that the sugar was all mixed in. I tried a whisk, but it didn’t do the trick. If you want something done right, use your hands.

We’re using oil AND butter for this one – double whammy. You won’t be sorry – it’s totally worth it…..gives it a nice crispy flavor. Don’t trust a skinny cook, and my butt is ever expanding. Mix the oil with melted butter.

When the potatoes are done, drain them for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. It will let the oil make them a tad bit more crispy. Crispy = happiness.

After 10 minutes, place them on a foil covered cookie sheet. It doesn’t need to be greased because we’re going to take care of that…….my cake instructor used to say “right now in a minute.” How does THAT make any sense? We’ll get to the greasing part, right now in a minute. Take your potato masher and slightly mash each slice. Did you know that “smush” isn’t a word? I just tried to type it and got a red underline……weird.

See? You want them sorta flattened, but not so that they come apart. You still need them to be all in one piece because we’re going to flip them right now in a minute.

We’ll grease them. Brush each slice with the oil/butter mixture. Oh baby.

Sprinkle each slice liberally with seasoning. Don’t skimp……you’ll be sorry.

Now, time to flip! Be careful so they don’t fall apart. I used a spatula and my hands. Once again – if you want something done right, use your hands.

Season the other side with what remains of your seasoning.  We’re packing in lots of flavor right here buddy.

Stick them in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. When the 20 minutes are done, flip them. Be careful because they’re softer now.  Let them go 10 minutes more.

I wanted mine crispy, so even though the recipe doesn’t state it, I broiled mine for a few minutes to get them just right. I didn’t do this the first time and they were good, but the broiled version was way better in my opinion.  I let them go 5 minutes and that was almost too long. Try 4 minutes.

Here they are in all their crispy glory! Hallelujah! It’s okay if you’re drooling right now. They are just divine and a wonderful take on traditional sweet potatoes. Try them soon – but don’t stand too close to your mama.

    These look delicious but I don’t see how much of each spice to use. I would really like to make them could you give me the measurements?

    Tried this today on the grill instead of the oven. It was AWESOME! My 15 year old daughter was convinced there was no way she would ever like sweet potatoes. I’m happy to say, she had seconds. 🙂 Thank you, Stacy!

    Every time I see this one it makes me hungry. Too bad no one in my family likes sweet potatoes except me. Some day I’m going to invite someone over just so I can make them 😉

Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀

But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀

God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀

No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀

Wow, only God did that. ⠀
