Best 5 Smoked Paprika Sweet Potatoes Puree Or Mashed Recipes

MASHED POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA AND CHIVES

Steps:

• For the smoked paprika butter: Combine the butter, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll into a log, wrap in waxed paper or parchment and refrigerate until very cold.
• For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover by 2 inches with cold water and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes, run through a food mill set over a large bowl and rice until very fine.
• Combine the milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
• Put the potatoes back in the pot, place the pot back over low heat and, using a wooden spatula, stir the potatoes to dry them out. Begin adding the cold paprika butter little by little, vigorously stirring with a wooden spoon until the butter is incorporated. (Adding the cold butter slowly will create an emulsion.) Slowly stir in the warm milk mixture bit by bit, and then switch to a whisk and whisk until light and fluffy. Fold in the chives and season with salt and pepper.

PAPRIKA AND ORANGE SCENTED MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and coarsely chop the sweet potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a boil in a large pot. Salt the water and cook the sweet potatoes until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return the sweet potatoes to the hot pot. Mash the potatoes with the stock and butter. Add in the orange juice and 2 tablespoons of the orange zest. Then add in the thyme, paprika, cinnamon and some pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and remove from the heat and serve immediately. To keep warm, create a water bath by placing the pot of mashed potatoes in 1 inch gently simmering water in larger pot or deep skillet.

SMOKED PAPRIKA SWEET POTATOES (PUREE OR MASHED)

Steps:

• Pierce washed potatoes, wrap in foil, place on baking tray in oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until very tender.
• When cooled just enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut into chunks that fit your food processor or extremely powerful blender.
• Melt the butter and the spices together in the microwave.
• Blend the potato with the melted spiced butter and the cream following the instructions of your processor or blender, serve when blended throughout.
• *I used an extremely high powered blender (a vita mix) and had to stop and stir while pureeing multiple times so as to not burn out the motor. If it is too thick, add some more cream or milk to get it to the consistency you want it. Feel free to add more smoked paprika if you enjoy the flavor as much as I do!

• Roast the potatoes in the oven, tossing occasionally, until they are soft at the center and beginning to crisp at the edges, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with burned-scallion crema if you like.
