4 sweet potatoes peeled 1 quart canola oil Directions
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a 1-gallon heavy-bottomed pot.

Southwest All-Grain Tortillas
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour or bread flour 1-1/2 cups blue corn masa harina para tortillas or harinilla
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup amaranth flour or mesquite flour
4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter cut into pieces
In a medium mixing bowl using your hands or a wooden spoon or in the bowl of a
heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the unbleached flour the blue cornmeal the whole wheat and amaranth flours baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly using a fork or pastry blender if making by hand. Gradually add the hot water to the flour mixture stirring just until the dough sticks together clears the sides of the bowl and a soft firm ball is formed adding a tablespoon of water at a time if the dough seems too dry. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rest for 45 minutes.To shape the tortillas divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place on a baking sheet or marble slab. Drape each ball around your forefinger making a depression on the underside which makes a mushroom shape and creates an air bubble to help it roll out into an even round. On a very lightly floured work surface flatten the ball with your palm. (The flattened balls can rest on a greased baking sheet covered tightly for 30 minutes longer if necessary.) Place one of the portions of the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Press in a tortilla press turning at regular intervals until the desired thickness. Or roll out with a rolling pin to a 4-inch round 1/4 inch thick. Stack between layers of plastic wrap to prevent drying out while pressing out the remaining dough. Bake as soon as possible.3) To bake the tortillas heat a large ungreased heavy cast-iron skillet or comal over medium-high heat until a drop of water dances across the surface. Place the tortillas one at a time in the pan and bake for about 2-1/2 minutes. When the dough looks dry and brown spots are formed turn over to the other side and bake for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep flipping back and forth until the tortilla is soft not crisp; it will puff up to l/2 inch thick. It is very easy to overbake so pay close attention to the timing. Remove each tortilla to a clean towel. Cover until serving
