SPICED MASHED SWEET POTATOES
I created these mashed sweet potatoes shortly after my firstborn began eating solid food. She loved them then and still does today, as does her little sister. The recipe is a staple in our home year-round, but especially at our holiday dinner table. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

SPICY MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH RAISINS
From The New Book of Middle Eastern Food, posted for ZWT III for North Africa and the Middle East. The original recipe does not call for any sweetener, but I felt it needed just a touch of brown sugar and a hint of heat.

MOROCCAN MASHED POTATOES
These creamy Middle Eastern-style potatoes are flavored with turmeric and use olive oil rather than butter. They are great alone, and for fillings in puff pastries. Amounts of salt, pepper, and other spices may be adjusted to taste.

Steps:
- 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water to 1 inch above potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Combine potatoes, milk, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, allspice, and ground red pepper in a medium bowl; mash to desired consistency with a potato masher. 2. Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon coriander, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin, bell peppers, 2 tablespoons oil, almonds, and garlic in the bowl of a mini food processor; process until smooth. 3. Sprinkle pork with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, sugar, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve pork with mashed potatoes and bell pepper sauce.
Tips:
- Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor. Look for varieties with different colors, such as orange, purple, and white.
- Roast the sweet potatoes before mashing them. This will help to caramelize the sugars and give the mashed potatoes a richer flavor.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food processor or blender, but be careful not to over-process the potatoes or they will become gluey.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Moroccan spices, such as cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, add a warm and savory flavor to the mashed potatoes.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Mashed sweet potatoes with Moroccan spices are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve them as a side dish with roast chicken, fish, or beef, or enjoy them as a vegetarian main course. You can also flavor them with any leftover herbs or spices that you have on hand, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika. Get creative and make this recipe your own!
