Super Simple Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

SUPER SIMPLE SWEET POTATO DOG TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prick sweet potato several times with a fork.
• Heat sweet potato in a microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes. Cut potato in half and scoop flesh out of the skin into a bowl; discard skin. Mash potato with a fork or potato masher and transfer about 1 cup to a large bowl. Save any remaining sweet potato for another use.
• Mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, and eggs in the large bowl with the sweet potato until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES

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.

SUPER SIMPLE SWEET POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Overcook the sweet potatoes. Either bake them in foil, steam, roast (I'm sure roasting would give them an even nicer flavour) or bbq. Get them overcooked so they are really soft and you can mash them with a fork.
• Add applesauce (we used an Organics Applesauce snack cup. I think it might have been sweetened, so you may need to add some sugar to tast if you use unsweetened).
• Add Cinnamon.
• Mash it all together with a fork, or use a blender for a smoother texture and serve.

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.

SWEET POTATO MASH

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.

• Return potato to the baking dish with 1/4 cup water and microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes total, turning halfway through.
