About

Angostura bitters, usually added to your G & T or Screwdriver Cocktails, is harnessed here to deepen the orangey-ness of these sticky, sweet potatoes. A secret: a few splashes of Angostura in a fruit salad take it to a new level! Adapted from the inimitable Ottolenghi, the garlic-orange stickiness of this salad is tamed by dollops of crème fraîche.
