Ginger Spiced Mashed Sweet Potatoes Food

EASY GINGER MASHED SWEET POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2-inch cubes.
• Put a large steamer into a large pot with the water level just below it. Over high heat, bring the water to a boil and then add sweet potatoes to the rack. Turn the heat to low, cover, and steam until the sweet potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. (You can stick a fork into one of the pieces to see how tender they are -- it should easily slide right out when they're done.)
• Add the sweet potatoes -- along with the butter, ginger, brown sugar, and cinnamon -- to a large mixing bowl and use a very large fork or potato masher to mash them. They can be as smooth or as chunky as you'd like -- mine are mostly smooth with a few chunks. (This must be done while they're still hot, so that the butter melts in nicely.)
• Now mix in the cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Here's How.)

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Slice sweet potatoes into disks and place them in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, cover with lid and simmer 12-15 minutes.
• When the sweet potatoes are fork tender, drain, saving the water. In the same pot, heat olive oil, butter or coconut oil over medium heat and add shallots, ginger and garlic, stirring until fragrant and golden about 2-3 minutes.
• At this point, you could add the sweet potatoes back into the pot and mash ( using a potato masher) adding some of the reserved sweet potato water to loosen it, or place it all in a food processor to whip until silky smooth.
• I usually add about ½ cup liquid for a looser, almost saucy consistency. Season with the salt, pepper.
• Top with maple pecans for a crunchy texture.
