Savory mashed sweet potatoes
Mayo Clinic Diet4
If you have extra sweet potatoes, you can cook them with the potatoes in this recipe, and use the extra to make quinoa cakes.
- Sweet potato, cooked, 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- Thyme, fresh, 1 tbsp(s), chopped
- Nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp(s)
- Skim milk, ¼ cup(s)
- Cinnamon, ground, ½ tsp(s)
- Salt, ½ tsp(s)
- Ground nutmeg, 1 pinch(es)
- Black pepper, 1 dash(es)
Method
Fill a smaller pot or medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Prepare the sweet potatoes.
Boil the potatoes until tender when stabbed with a fork, approximately 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mash the potatoes. A stand mixer with a whip attachment works well, but you can use a potato masher. Add the thyme and remaining ingredients. Mix until well blended.
