Mashed sweet potatoes

[Cat_Jones]

Just to second the votes for adding a bit of nutmeg when you’re mashing them, mine often get served with lardons (the nearest we get to decent bacon here )which have had some maple syrup added while they cook. Yummy scrummy !

Made them last night.

Roasted them in oil with a little curry powder – mashed them with a little butter…

Dayum. They were ridiculously good.

Thanks all – I look forward to trying some of these other tips as I expand my sweet potato horizons.

Thanks for feeding back. Glad you tried the curry! Ain’t it just intelligently designed for sweet potatos?

Yeah, as I said – “dayum!”

Which reminds me – I’ve gotta call my sister and tell her what I’m bringing on Turkey Day.

This is a great recipe:

Sweet Potato Casserole
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
6 cups of cooked and cubed sweet potatoes or 2 (40 oz each) cans of sweet potatoes cut and drained

Mix well in a large bowl the sugar, milk, butter, and eggs.
Add the sweet potatoes and gently mix well.
Pour into a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish and then make topping.

Topping
1-1/4 cup all purpose flour
1-1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Mix well and add:
1-1/4 cups of chopped pecans
3/4 cups of melted butter
Mix these together well and sprinkle over sweet potatoes.
Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 50-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Sounds good, but this recipe calls for 1 CUP of butter!

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Not at all.

In fact, I’d recommend adding a dollop or thirty of coconut-sweetened sour cream and then downing the works with a gallon of whole cream. Don’t forget the ice cream–20 percent milk fat.
