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.

BETTY'S MICROWAVED POTATO, PUMPKIN & KUMARA MASH
Our friend Betty makes this with cream cheese but when we need to cut down on fat I use chicken stock or a little skim evaporated milk - the cream cheese is nicer of course. I used stock in the photo I posted.

- To make the mash ahead of time, cook the sweet potatoes and ginger according to the directions in the recipe. Then, let them cool completely. Store the mashed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the mash over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
- Garnish the mash with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
