Panfried Sweetpotatoes
Panfried Sweetpotatoes, created by Ayat Sleymann, are a quick and flavorful way to enjoy sweetpotatoes with crispy edges and tender centers. Seasoned with oregano and paprika, these skillet-cooked cubes make an easy side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweetpotatoes cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Prep the sweetpotatoes: Wash and cube your sweetpotatoes into bite-sized pieces. I like to keep the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
- Season: Add the sweetpotatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Toss until all pieces are well coated.
- Sear: Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned sweetpotatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Lower the heat: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and continue cooking for about 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the sweetpotatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the edges.
