Ingredients

  • 1 yam or sweet potato medium size, long in shape
  • 1 Tbl grassfed butter unsalted
  • 6 sage leaves preferably organic
  • sea salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the yam well in filtered water and peel. 

  2. Slice yam lengthwise as thinly as possible - a mandoline slicer (I like this one) is the best tool to use. Note that a potato peeler will not result in thin enough slices to achieve linguine like texture.

  3. Cut the long, thin yam slices into even strips about 1/4 inch wide. Set aside.

  4. In a large saute pan, melt butter on medium-low heat and add the sage leaves. Watch the butter closely as the sage begins to brown (you do not want the sage to burn).

  5. When the sage is crisp, remove and set aside. Add the sweet potato pasta strips to the butter and heat thoroughly. Stir and toss for about 2-3 minutes. When tender and warmed through, arrange on a serving platter and garnish with the fried sage.

Recipe Notes

If you want to make this dish, but don't have a mandoline slicer, try buying 100% sweet potato noodles. They are now available in many healthfood stores (such as this brand).

Be sure to read labels as many types of sweet potato noodles are blended with grain flour!

    I wonder if you could dehydrate the sweet potato after slicing it thin, powder it after drying, and then use it like flour to make “noodles”? I have dehydrated sweet potato before and even made the flour…but I haven’t tried using it like a flour yet… 🙂 If I mixed it with egg yolks, I wonder what it would do. Anyone tried this already? Can’t this also be done with spinach, etc.? I haven’t made noodles before…

    Oh my culinary goodness! This sounds heavenly! I’m a serious sweet potato addict, so I wonder why I never thought of this 😉 I’m gonna try this next week for sure!

    Sarah, this recipe confuses me a little, because I have been under the impression that Yams and Sweet Potatoes are two different foods, rather than one and the same. The title says “Sweet Potato,” but the recipe says “Yam.” Can you clear this up for me? Thanks!

    Has anyone tried this with the zucchini pasta slicer? I may try it. It’s the spiral slicer we make raw zucchini ‘pasta’ with back when we were raw vegan. I’m afraid the potatoes will be too hard. …
