TJ's - Sweet potato + butter + Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce
  1. wash and dry sweet potatoes (Korean sweet potatoes, or supermarket Beauregard sweet potatoes are both delicious and would work here). Prick with a fork all over

  2. place on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 45-55 minutes, until a fork goes into the thickest part of the potato without any resistance—to me, the softer, the better

  3. to make Bomba Butter: throw room-temperature unsalted butter and chopped jarred Calabrian chiles into a food processor

  4. use a Microplane to grate in zest of ½ lemon and 1 garlic clove

  5. season with kosher salt and pulse until mixture is bright orange and mostly smooth (some visible flecks of chile are fine!).

  6. generously smush Bomba Butter into a roasted sweet potato.

  7. Note: The Bomba Sauce is hot. If you can’t handle that, do butter and TJ’s pretty tame hot honey instead.
