SWEET POTATO AND HAZELNUT MASHED POTATOES
This side is a great earthy compliment to any dish. Not too sweet, not too nutty just a perfect mix. Apple cider acts as the perfect balance for just a touch of sweetness. This recipe is perfect paired with Beef Tenderloin in a Port Shitake Reduction.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are done cooking when they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use for the filling will make a big difference in the flavor of the tortellini. Choose a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as ricotta, Parmesan, or mozzarella.
- Don't overcrowd the tortellini when cooking: Cook the tortellini in batches so that they have plenty of room to move around. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Serve the tortellini immediately: Sweet potato tortellini is best served hot, right out of the pot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato tortellini with hazelnut sauce is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness to the tortellini, while the hazelnut sauce adds a rich and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
