2 medium sweet potatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp fresh sage

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH SAGE BUTTER



Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Sage Butter image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (2 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Cover sweet potatoes with water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and add salt. Cook, covered, over moderately high heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain sweet potatoes in a colander. Transfer sweet potatoes and reserved cooking liquid to a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
  • Mash together butter, sage, and salt and pepper to taste, then stir half of sage butter into sweet potatoes. Serve potatoes topped with remaining sage butter.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any potatoes that have cuts or bruises.
  • To prevent the sweet potatoes from becoming watery, pierce them with a fork before baking. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent the potatoes from becoming soggy.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly before handling. This will prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed sweet potatoes. A regular masher can leave lumps in the potatoes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the mashed sweet potatoes. Overmixing can make them gluey.
  • Season the mashed sweet potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. You can also add a knob of butter or a splash of milk for extra richness.
  • Serve the mashed sweet potatoes immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mashed sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be easily customized to suit your taste. Whether you like them plain or loaded with toppings, mashed sweet potatoes are a surefire hit.
