Equipment
- Electirc Hand Mixer (Optional)
- Food Processor (Optional)
- Potato Masher (Optional)
- Potato Peeler (Optional)
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet poatoes about 1-2 lbs
- 1 tbsp butter can substitute ghee or olive oil
- 1 tbsp almond milk more for creamier consistency
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
For Preparation:
- Start by boiling a large pot of water. While that begins to boil, wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Here you have the option to peel your sweet potatoes before boiling using a peeler or knife OR you can remove the skin after the potatoes are boiled.
- Once the water is boiling, add sweet potatoes and boil for about 25 minutes or until fork tender. NOTE: each sweet potato will vary in size so watch as they boil to ensure they don't overcook.
- Drain the water and prepare for mashing.
Options for Mashing:
- Option 1: Using a hand mixer. For this step, add the peeled & boiled sweet potatoes back to the empty pot. Add in the butter and mix until slightly broken down. Next, add in the seasonings and almond milk about 1/2 tbsp at a time, and mix again until they reach your desired thickness.
- Option 2: Using a food processor. For this step, add the peeled & boiled sweet potatoes to a food processor with the butter and seasonings. Gently pulse until blended. Next, add in the almond milk about 1/2 tbsp at a time, and pulse again until they reach your desired thickness.
- Option 3: Using a potato masher or fork. For this step, add the peeled & boiled sweet potatoes back to the empty pot or a large bowl. Using a potato masher or a fork, manually mash the potatoes until broken down. Add in butter, seasonings, and almond milk about 1/2 tbsp at a time, and mix again until they reach your desired thickness.
- Top with dried parsley (and more butter if you want!) and enjoy.
