MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Hi Everyone!

In this video I am going to share with you a Mashed Sweet Potatoes recipe.

Mashed sweet potatoes provide a delicious and nutritious option that showcases the natural sweetness of the potatoes. They are a wonderful addition to any meal, providing a touch of indulgence.

Recipe Notes:

I am using orange flesh sweet potato in this recipe. If you wish to vary the flavor of the dish, you could use other types of sweet potatoes.
The orange flesh sweet potatoes are easily softened compare with other types of sweet potatoes. Be careful not to overcook this. Use a skewer to poke the potatoes to check for tenderness.
Sweet potatoes by nature is not creamy, I added milk while cooking the sweet potatoes to give it more creamy texture. The milk also enhances the flavor.
It is recommended to use unsalted butter and then add salt to taste. If salted butter is use, you won’t be able to control the saltiness of the mashed potatoes.
