Do I need to peel the Sweet Potatoes?

When we make these diced sweet potatoes, we like to peel them before grilling them. But do what you prefer. When we make sweet potato fries, we like to keep the skin on.

Ingredients: 

• Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced into small pieces 
• Avocado Oil 
• Salt 
• Pepper 
• Butter 

How to Cook Sweet Potatoes on Blackstone Griddle: 

• Prepare Grill – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). 

• Heat Oil and add potatoes – Drizzle the avocado oil on the grill.  Place the diced sweet potatoes on the oil on the grill.  Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.  

• Cook seasoned potatoes – Sauté the sweet potatoes for 12-15 minutes covered and toss approximately every 2-3 minutes.  

• Cook with Butter – Once the potatoes are fork tender, top the potatoes with the butter.  Toss the potatoes with the butter until the butter is melted and cover the potatoes.  

• Serve and Enjoy – Remove the potatoes from the grill, serve immediately while warm and enjoy! 

Seasoning Ideas:

Sweet potatoes are delicious just seasoned with some salt and pepper. But they can also be flavored with many different seasonings. Here are some of our favorites:

• Cumin
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Italian Seasoning
• Seasoned Salt

Variation and Addition Ideas:

• Add Onions – For added flavor, add in some chopped onions. This gives the potatoes so much flavor.
• Mix in Mushrooms – Most of my family loves mushrooms. We add them in to a lot of our vegetables mixes and they go perfectly with sweet potatoes.
• Russet Potatoes – We like to add in russet potatoes occasionally if I don’t have many sweet potatoes. We love they look and taste.
• Fresh Herbs – Add fresh herbs such as parsley, Italian Seasoning, or Rosemary.
• Fresh Garlic – When melting the butter, you can add in some minced garlic to cook the potatoes in.

Fried Sweet Potato Tips:

• Dicing Potatoes – When I am dicing up the sweet potatoes to cook, we try to make them about the same size. This way they cook evenly and about the same time.
• Let Potatoes Cook – When you cook potatoes on the griddle, make sure you let them cook without moving around. This creates a crispy texture.
• Fork Tender Potatoes – Make sure you potatoes are fork tender before removing them from the griddle. I also like them to have a crispy golden brown texture before removing them.
• Hot Griddle – To prevent potatoes from sticking, make sure griddle has reached a medium high heat and oiled before placing potatoes on the griddle.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate any leftover sweet potatoes in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
