Easy Potato Recipes
Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins and is a great “skin” food. Garlic has strong antioxidant vitamins and gives this mash a rich flavor.
4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons unsalted real butter
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
Salt and black pepper to taste
Place the sweet potatoes in a large pan of salted boiling water. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the garlic over low heat for about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir often and don’t let the garlic burn as it will taste very bitter.
Now pour the garlic butter over the sweet potatoes, season with salt and pepper and mash until creamy. Serve immediately.
Note: if the mash is too thick, add a little vegetable broth or warm milk to make a creamier texture.
