Sweet Potato Recipes for Every Season

Gone are the days when sweet potatoes were just a side dish. Also known as kumara, these flavoursome sweet potato recipes work in all seasons, but are particularly good in winter when the sweet potato is in its prime.

While a baked sweet potato recipe is reliable, we expand our sweet, starchy horizons with recipes such as charred sweet potato topped with goat’s curd and almonds and our feta and sweet potato pies. Plus, recipes for mashed sweet potatoes and stir-fried japchae (Korean sweet potato noodles) are also good to have on hand.

Here are our best sweet potato recipes.
