Sweet Potato & Banana Mash image

A bit different way of serving sweet potato, not as sweet as usual with the taste of buttered pecans being the perfect offset.

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 batch, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lbs sweet potatoes
3 ripe bananas
4 ounces unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar (more or less)
2 tablespoons honey
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, in a skillet
16 ounces pecans
8 ounces dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small chunks

Steps:

  • Wash sweet potatoes and roast in a in a 375°F preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, or until soft and starting to release some juice.
  • Add bananas during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • While the potatoes are cooking melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and toast the pecans over a medium heat, tossing often.
  • All the butter will be absorbed and the nuts will be slightly fragrant.
  • Add a bit of salt and toss again.
  • After roasting let the potatoes cool enough to just handle them, peel and mash with bananas, melted butter, granulated sugar and honey.
  • Season to taste and add more sugar if desired (it will depend on your taste and how sweet the veggies are to begin with) In a small bowl mix the 2 tablespoons of cold butter into the brown sugar with your fingers, it'll be lumpy, but that's OK.
  • Spread the mashed mixture in a buttered baking dish, cover with pecans and sprinkle with brown sugar/butter combination. Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes until the topping is partially melted.
