I am looking for Pesach recipes for side dishes, soups and kugels made with sweet potato.
Please keep in mind that I do not eat white potatoes.
Thanks in advance!

My sister thinks this cake is fantastic. IMO, it's an awful lot of work for one torte, but it does taste great!! We use oil instead of margarine.

You could also make tzimmes: sauteed onions, sliced apples, carrots, sweet potato chunks.

I am also off of white potatoe here are some things from my menu:

roated sweet potato: chunk sp and toss with fat (of you klp choice), salt, pepper, paprika, ginger and cinnamon (hopefully you use all of those) - bake for 35-50 min on 425 - real yum

sp latkes: grate sp, mix with finely sliced red onion (nice color contrast, but really any onion will do) - add salt and pepper adn drop by pinchfuls into hot (greased) pan - fry on one side till golden, flip and do other side. You can finish the cooking process in the oven if you want - these also freeze really nicely!

sp souffle/kugel: separate eggs, beat yolks with sugar, cinnamon, salt until a nice bright yellow. add mashed sp and mix until very smooth. whip whites until very very stiff. gently fold sp mix into whites - bake at 350 until golden and dry when a toothpick is inserted in the middle. Turn off oven and leave inside to cool very slowly - really yum!

Thanks montrealmommy! This is great. Do you have the amounts for the sweet potato kugel/souffle?

IIRC, for the souflee it's 1 very large or 2 potatoes per egg. I never measure s+p so do that to taste. I add probably about 1 TbSP sugar (I prefer brown) per sp as I find SP very sweet alread, and as much (or little) cinnamon as you like.

Also, I was rereading my menu, I usually make a pot pie using a potato crust, but since I am now off of potatoes, I am going to try the same thing with sp -

boil and mash 2-3 sp. Mix with a little fat, s+p and chopped/minced onion. you want the mix fairly dry so you may have to "reheat" it once mashed to dry it out a little. Line a pan with 1/2 the mixture. Bake "crust" for 10-15 min. in over at 350 until it browns lightly. Make pot pie filling (mine is soup chicken, diced carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, various spices). Pour into shell and cover with remaining sp mixture. Bake at 350 until top is golden and a little 'crispy'. You can add egg to the sp mix, I don't b/c of other family allergies.

My fav is to slice the sweet pot thinly, spread onto a sheet, drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and maybe some thyme, and baking like oven fries. soooooo yum!

In general, we don't eat much starch in our house. I would rather served a salad or other cold vegetable with the fish and a cooked veg with the chicken.

Make root vegetable latkes with sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots and onions. My family loves these.

Thanks all!
Does anyone know if I can make a sweet potato kugel the same way as a white potato kugel?
Also, does anyone know how to make potato kugel on a stove top?
TIA!

Regular potato kugel on the stovetop is about as easy as it gets. Make your normal recipe, don't add any oil to it. Heat a generous amount of oil in a (preferably non-stick) frying pan. When it's very hot, pour in the kugel batter. When it's sizzling well, cover and lower the flame. When the top is firm and the edges are browned, flip the kugel onto a plate and slide it back into the pan. If the frying pan surface is dry, I.e. all the oil has been absorbed, add more oil before returning the kugel to the pan. Continue frying till bottom is done.

It takes much less time than in the oven.
