Kumara Sweet Potato And Ginger Mash Recipes

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.)
