Mashed Sweet Potatoes

 

Ingredients

  • 4 Medium sized Garnet or Jewel Sweet Potatoes (peeled and cubed into 2″ pieces)
  • 1 tsp Himalayan Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Butter (organic from grass fed cows) or Ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1/8 – 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions

Place cubed sweet potatoes in big pot.  Fill pot with water until potatoes are covered.  Bring to boil and reduce to medium. Cook for about 20 minutes or until soft (knife can go through cube easily).  When potatoes are soft, drain water.  Add butter and salt. Mash lightly with a fork to break up cubes and blend. Use blender, immerser or mix master to mix or whip.  Serve.  Can make a day in advance and then reheat in the oven.

Notes

What an easy treat and side dish.  My father-in-law kept asking me what the secret was to this delectable yet ridiculously easy side dish.  The trick is to use the right type of sweet potato.  The darker they are on the inside, the sweeter they taste.  I love the Garnet and only buy organic.  The natural taste is truly amazing.  Enjoy!
