Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes make a great savory side dish. I like to add chopped bacon on occasion. A dish I often make is a Turkey Scaloppini with a Portobello demi-glaze. Your options are endless.

Ingredients

  • Peeled sweet potato
  • 2/3 c Milk heated
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice
  • Salt pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 inch slices and boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash. Add milk and seasonings.
  • Work the mixture as little as possible.
  • Add more milk if they seem dry.

Notes

Sweet potatoes have beige skin and pale yellow meat. Yams have purplish skin and bright orange meat. I have seen them mislabeled in stores. They vary in size so for portion sake let's use the equaivalent of 2 large baked potatoes.
