    Kathy’s Famous Sweet Potato Mash!

    sweet potato mash
    This is my delicious recipe for Sweet Potato Mash. This recipe takes a simple baked sweet potato and turns it into an incredibly versatile and flavor-packed ingredient, side dish or condiment.

    My flavors? Parsley, Garlic hummus, vidalia onion, and citrus. Accents include maple syrup, lemon, cayenne and a nice amount of fresh black pepper. Savory-sweet heaven.

    How do you use it?
    I put my mash on sandwiches, burgers, pizza, toast or mixed into grain or pasta dishes. Or just eat it plain. I even put it in burritos and enchiladas. Black beans, Chile’s and sweet potatoes are a great combo. But before I scare you off by my eat-on-anything love of sweet potatoes, check out the recipe. It is easy to learn and easy to modify based on your own tastes. Once you make it your own to sweet potato perfection, use it in recipes, or leave it be for a killer sweet potato side dish.

    Kathy’s Famous Sweet Potato Mash
    makes 5-6 cups
    1 large sweet potato, 3 cups of flesh, baked
    1 cup vidalia onion, chopped
    1/3 cup garlic hummus
    3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
    1/2 large carrot, chopped
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
    1 tsp lemon juice
    1 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
    2 Tbsp maple syrup
    salt/pepper to taste
    optional add-ins:
    1/3 cup chopped celery (adds crunch)
    Any fresh herb chopped

    1. In a large bowl, add cooked sweet potato, hummus, parsley, garlic, onion, oil, tangerine and lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper. (optional add-ins)

    2. Mash well. But don’t over-mash! A thick chunky texture is perfection.

    3. Fold in carrots and any add-in ingredients. Creativity is encouraged!

    4. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

    5. Serve warm-hot or reheat in microwave or on stove top.

      I was dubious about all the ingredients, but I really wanted some sweet potatoes in my life so I decided to give it a try. Loved it! The only change I made was that I used Agave Nectar instead of maple syrup because that was what I had. I hope to see a pizza recipe using the mash sometime soon.

      Love the hummus idea, but it seems like there are too many other ingredients for my taste. I might just simplify a little.
