List of Ingredients

3 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
oil for deep frying
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Dip:

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt





Recipe

Prepare cream cheese filling while the crust is baking:

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth in medium bowl with electric mixer set on high speed. Add egg and lemon extract and beat on medium speed until light and smooth. Cover bowl tightly and refrigerate.

To prepare the lemon curd:

Blend the egg yolks with the cornstarch and sugar in medium non-aluminum saucepan. Place over low heat and slowly whisk in water and lemon juice. Increase heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Add lemon peel and butter and cool for 10 minutes.

To assemble the bars:

Spread chilled cream cheese filling evenly over cooled shortbread crust with spatula. Spread lemon curd evenly over cream cheese filling. Place pan in center of oven. Bake 30-40 minutes or until edges begin to turn light golden brown. Cool to room temperature on rack. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour before cutting into bars. Dust top with confectioners' sugar.
