Welcome back to the (sweet) potatoes series! If you missed out on last week’s post, I talked about the benefits / drawbacks and highlighted the differences between regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, what’s the difference you ask? More than you know, I say.

How much do you really know about potatoes?!

Last week’s post may have been a little heavier/geekier/nerdier than usual, but trust me, it will be worth it! Since we will be discussing the science of (crispy) Potato / Sweet Potato Fries in great detail next week , I reckon we should have a more light-hearted, yet equally delicious intermission in between!

So fast and so easy. As of today, sweet potato mash is my number one go-to side dish. A crowd pleaser and a healthy delight – what more could you ask for? 🙂

Ingredients

3 Sweet potatoes
1/4 cup Butter
1/3 cup Milk
Salt

Instructions

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes with a peeler. Cut the potatoes into large cubes with a knife, also removing any woody portions and ends.
Boil the peeled potatoes in a pot for 20 minutes. After that, drain all the water from the pot.
Placing the pot back onto the hob, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter into the pot, and mash the boiled sweet potatoes with a wooden spoon.
Add the milk and salt to taste. Continue mixing with the spatula, just until the milk and mash is well combined. Serve immediately.
