Categories Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 1 1, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

16 ounces 100% grade aaa pure maple syrup
1 pint orange juice
6 -8 organic sweet potatoes
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 orange, peeled
marshmallows
1/2 cup fresh mint sprig

Steps:

Wash/run the sweet potatoes under cool water using colander, then pat dry with towels.
Next, thoroughly peel each sweet potato with a potato peeler.
Soak the peeled sweet potatoes in hot water overnight: (Sweet Potatoes are very fragile, boiling them causes bruising, and baking them dries them out. Letting them sit in hot water keeps them moist and is the most gentle way to get them to soften).
Remove softened sweet potatoes from the water and thoroughly pat dry with towels.
In a large mixing bowl, use a potato masher or fork to mash them gently.
Use an orange grater on the orange and add grated orange rind to the mixture.
Add the Maple, orange juice and whipping creme. Then, using an electric mixer on a low setting, gently mix till everything is a fluffy and whipped consistency -- no lumps!
Pour into an oblong baking dish and cover with foil, then bake at 325F for 20-25 minute.
Remove from the oven and add marshmallows to completely cover the top, then resume baking uncovered for about 5 minutes more, but be careful -- marshmallows burn very quickly and you only want them to be lightly golden brown, so keep checking.
Once the sweet potatoes are finally removed from the oven, add the fresh mint all around the perimeter of the sweet potatoes, and they will take on a slight mint flavor as they cool.

Tips:

Use fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves have a stronger flavor than dried leaves, so they will give your potatoes a more pronounced minty taste.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to give them plenty of space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and they will not be as crispy.
Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: The potatoes are done cooking when they are golden brown and crispy. If you cook them for too long, they will become overcooked and mushy.
Season the potatoes to taste: Once the potatoes are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Minty potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special holiday meal. So next time you are looking for a new way to prepare potatoes, give this minty potato recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
