Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon green onions thinly sliced, cut on bias
  • 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
  • 1/2 clove garlic (NOTE 1)
  • 1/4 cup milk or sour cream or yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon butter optional
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes and transfer the cubes to a saucepan with water and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and return to the saucepan. Mash them to a consistency you prefer. This can be until perfectly smooth or a mixture that still has some potato pieces left.
  • Add sliced green onions, chopped parsley and minced garlic and stir. (NOTE 1)
  • Add milk until you reach the desired consistency. (NOTE 2)
  • Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Transfer Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes to a bowl, create a swirl and place a dollop of butter (optional) on top. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
  • ENJOY !

Notes

  1. Use garlic paste instead of a garlic clove if that's more convenient to you.
  2. Keep some parsley behind for garnish.
  3. When using sour cream or yogurt, the flavor will have a tiny tangy hint, that you won't get from the milk.
