If you’ve ever made risotto before, you know that it can be time-consuming. I love making risotto for special occasions, like Passover or a family member’s birthday. If you’ve never made homemade risotto, you gotta try it at least once. And once you’ve mastered the classic recipe, you should try this sweet and savory sweet potato risotto.

Why Sweet Potato?

I love sweet potatoes. They’re filled with vitamins and minerals but they’re also delicious. when you roast them in the oven before hand, their sweetness really comes out and they get that yummy roasted flavor.

In this dish, the sweet potato and the creamy, saltiness of the risotto marry so well. I love adding sweet potato to almost anything, but it goes really well in this dish.

Course: Dinner
Cuisine: French
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb sweet potato, diced in 1/4 pieces
  • 1/3 cup shallots
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine like Pinot Grigio
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a baking pan, place the potatoes, shallot, butter and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and then add in 1 tbsp olive oil making, sure each piece is well coated. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping at the 10-minute mark.

  2. In a medium pot, add 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until each piece is coated in the oil. Don't let it brown! Add wine and stir until rice soaks it all up.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Here, you add your stock a 1/4 cup at a time, waiting until each addition has evaporated and has soaked into the rice, but careful not to let the rice dry up completely.
  4. After your final addition of the stock is complete and it has been mostly soaked up by the rice, add the cooked sweet potatoes. Stir carefully making sure not to overcook, causing the rice to get mushy.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan and 2 tbsp of butter. Last, stir in the parsley. Cover and let it sit for 3-5 minutes to allow the texture to get creamy. Top with pepper and enjoy!
