hey everyone this is Alessandro Bruxel from Home Chef Seattle and today I'm gonna be
sharing with you guys a recipe for some pretty cool sweet potato Tuiles. I love
using this as a garnish because they not only look cool but they taste great as well.
These are made with sweet potatoes that are pureed and then dehydrated. You can follow the same
process with regular potatoes and play around with it, adding different spices for taste. With the
sweet potato I like to let its taste shine on its own. I hope you guys enjoy it. Let's get started!
For this recipe we're going to be using some orange and purple sweet potatoes.
Let's start by peeling the potatoes
and giving them a rough chop, then add the potatoes to two different pans of boiling water.
Bring them back to a boil and cook until they're fork tender.
When the potatoes are ready, transfer them to a mixer or food processor
and add just a little bit of the liquid to help with the blending,
add about a tablespoon of butter, this will help you get a nice and smooth puree.
and then blend it until nice and smooth
then sift the puree just to make sure pieces of potato were not left behind.
Repeat the same process with the purple potatoes.
On a baking sheet lined with a nonstick silicone mat,
add full teaspoons of the puree and spread them thin with a spatula.
I like to shape mine as brush strokes but you can
also make them as circles or even use stencils for different shapes.
For a nice visual effect, try to make some where you mix both of the purees.
Place them in a preheated oven at 175 Fahrenheit
79 Celsius and dehydrate for about 1 hour or until they are completely dry.
Carefully remove the Tuiles from the silicone mat as they will be paper thin.
These make for a great garnish when plating dishes, you can
also use regular potatoes and get creative adding different spices to it for taste.
