Mashed Sweet Potatoes
https://ift.tt/32tmosw If these mashed sweet potatoes aren’t a perfect holiday side dish, I don’t know what is! They’re creamy, flavorful, and blissfully easy to make. They call for just 8 ingredients (yes, including salt and pepper), and you can even make them in advance. They’re totally gluten-free, and they can be made vegan, too. No matter who you’re serving, these mashed sweet potatoes are guaranteed to be a hit. I got the idea to make them after developing last year’s sweet potato casserole recipe. Don’t get me wrong, I love its nutty crumble topping, but I was especially smitten with the gingery sweet potato filling. In fact, I liked it so much that I thought it would make a tasty side dish on its own. I amped it up with garlic and rosemary, and voila! It became the smoothest, creamiest, and most flavorful mashed sweet potatoes I’d ever tasted. If you love sweet potatoes, you have to try this recipe! Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe IngredientsMy favorite thing about this recipe is that it really lets the sweet potatoes shine. Unlike in a classic sweet potato casserole, you won’t find any marshmallows, brown sugar, or maple syrup here. The sweetness comes from the potatoes themselves. Then, these ingredients add richness and depth of flavor:
Find the complete recipe with measurements below. How to Make Mashed Sweet PotatoesLike in my mashed cauliflower recipe, I don’t actually mash the sweet potatoes here. Instead, I puree them in a food processor to create a super smooth, creamy texture. If you prefer to use a potato masher to achieve a chunkier texture, feel free, but I adore this method: First, bake the potatoes. When I make traditional mashed potatoes, I start by boiling the potatoes. But when I’m working with sweet potatoes, I bake them. It concentrates their sweet flavor and makes their flesh smooth and creamy…perfect for mashed sweet potatoes! Wash the potatoes, and poke a few holes in them with a fork. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 425° for 60 minutes, or until tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork. Next, blend! When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel away their skins. Transfer the cooked flesh to a food processor, along with the milk, butter or oil, rosemary, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Process until creamy, and season to taste. Finally, eat. Serve the mashed sweet potatoes hot, topped with a sprinkle of thyme leaves, a pat of butter, and salt and pepper. Enjoy!
