Sweet Potato Gnocchi in Mushroom Butter Sauce

Gnocchi may seem difficult to make, but they're not. Just a little mixing and kneading yields tender nuggets of dough. Bake the sweet potatoes and purée the flesh in a food processor for the best texture. Garnish with a few curls of Romano or Parmesan cheese if you like.

Curried Chicken and Lentil Soup With Sweet Potato

This satisfying spiced soup is packed with protein and will keep hunger at bay for hours. You can substitute about 2 cups of leftover shredded cooked chicken and 2 cups cooked and cooled lentils to make this soup even quicker to prepare. Just simmer the soup until the sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes.

Lentil and Sweet Potato Salad with Halloumi Cheese

This hearty dish makes a tasty warm salad for dinner, but it's also delicious served cold as leftovers. Broiling the halloumi on the same pan used to roast the sweet potatoes helps keep pots and pans to a minimum, but, if you prefer, you can sear the cheese (without any added fat) in a nonstick skillet.

Mustard Thyme Pork Medallions with German Potatoes

Pork and apples are a classic pairing, but throw in a little mustard and serve over potatoes and cabbage, and you have a tasty dinner that's anything but boring. Green cabbage should not be overlooked; it's an excellent source of vitamins C and K, a good source of folate and a source of vitamin B6. Make the dish greener by tossing in a handful of coarsely chopped parsley right before serving.

Honey-Mustard Chicken and Broccoli Skewers With Cheesy Potatoes

Cooking potatoes in the microwave is a real time-saver for busy weeknights. For the skewers, use wooden ones that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes so they don't burn in the oven, or opt for metal skewers if you're short on time. Just be sure to remove them before serving, as they retain heat.

Scalloped Potatoes

My mother used to make this when I was a young girl. In those days she had access to fresh farm cream and this dish was a very special treat as well as easy to make. It is even better reheated as a midnight snack.
