Recipe for Sweet Potato Wrapped Fish

This dish was inspired by one of my favorite dishes, potato wrapped sea bass, at Isa Restaurant, San Francisco. That dish is smothered in capers, tomatoes, olive oil and herbs-it is really good.  This is different, simpler, sweet potatoes instead of regular, but just as delicious.  

Recipe for Beef Braised in Rooibos Tea with Sweet Potatoes - Daring Cooks

Do you enjoy a good challenge?  Me too, so I joined the Daring Kitchen-a group of hundreds of cooks around the world who come together each month to try something new in the kitchen.

Sarah from Simply Cooked was our November Daring Cooks’ hostess and she challenged us to create something truly unique in both taste and technique! We learned how to cook using tea with recipes from Tea Cookbook by Tonia George and The New Tea Book by Sara Perry.

Recipe for Sweet Potato Frips and Pesto Dipping Sauce

What’s a frip you ask?  Sorta between a fry and a chip.  Sweet potatoes slices are great done in the oven, but often they steam more than brown and although they taste good, they don’t give that satisfying crispy fry or chip sensation.

I’ve found rubbing each piece of sweet potato with oil and spreading them out with lots of room on baking trays helps.  Cooking them until they are browning but not burned around the edges, gives you a crunch as you bite into them.  No, they aren’t like real fries or chips but pretty good none-the-less.
