Speckled Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

Steps:

• These potatoes can be steamed to preserve more of the flavor and vitamins (or boiled if you wish), until tender. (To steam them, you can place them in a single layer on a rack placed over a large shallow pan of water with a large pot lid to cover. Replenish water in pan if it boils off before they are tender.)
• Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl and mash by hand with a masher or fork. Then, using a beater, whip in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and enough cream to achieve your desired consistency. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Roast the red pepper in a hot (220C) oven for approximately 30-minutes until skin is blackened.
• Cool for a few minutes, peel and chop flesh into small dice.
• Meanwhile, chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks and boil with the garlic cloves for approximately 15-20 minutes until tender.
• Heat olive oil in a small pan and fry chili for 3-4 minutes over a low heat. Stir in chopped red pepper.
• Drain sweet potato and garlic and mash with 2 tbsp cream cheese and milk, adding more if needed.
• Stir red pepper, chili and coriander into mash. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 mins or until tender, how long they take will depend on the size of the cubes. Drain very well and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes.
• Tip the potatoes back into the pan and mash with 1 tbsp butter using a fork or masher, then season well. Serve with the extra butter and more seasoning on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place on an oven tray with the unpeeled cloves of garlic, and bake for 1 hour or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
• Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skin and add them to the potato flesh.
• Stir in the honey and unsalted butter, milk and salt to taste, and mash the potatoes until there are no lumps and the consistency is creamy.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• With an electric mixer on low, blend potatoes, slowly adding milk, about 1/2 a cup at a time. Use more or less to achieve desired texture. Add butter and maple syrup to taste. Blend until smooth. Serve warm.
