Simple (Nothing Fancy) Mashed Sweet Potato Recipe?

Question

I'm not looking for anything fancy, like with marshmallows or nuts, just a plain, basic mashed sweet potato. Maybe with brown sugar or something. Should I boil, bake or microwave? Do I need to add milk, like with regular mashed potatoes? How many sweet potatoes should I buy to serve 12 people? This seems like it should be so simple, but I'm driving myself crazy!

I can't seem to find any simple recipes at cooking sites.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

For 12 people I would use about 6 sweet potatoes. Think as if each person would eat about half of a potato.

I boil mine till tender with the skins on. After they cool for about 15 minutes I peel the skin off. It comes of so easy then.

Then mash like normal potatoes. Add butter, cream/milk to you desired taste. Salt and pepper. that’s it. If you want a hint more of sweetness add some brown sugar and cinnamon to taste. Hope this helps!

Great question. I'd love to have a few extra recipes too. Just plain roasted sweet potatoes each and every Thanksgiving just do not provide enough excitement.

Here's one recipe for 12 persons:
SWEET POTATO PUREE WITH BLUE CHEESE (OR GORGONZOLA) SAUCE

Roast 6 pounds of sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done. Peel, mash, and add butter and milk, as you would to ordinary potatoes.

To make a sauce for the potatoes, heat equal parts of blue cheese (or Stilton) and chicken broth until the cheese has melted and both have combined.

A variation of the sauce is to saute a celery stalk and a small chopped onion in 2 Tbsp. butter. When done, put in a blender and puree with 1 cup milk, 1 cup ricotta cheese, and 8 oz. gorgonzola. (Gorgonzola is usually older and sharper than young blue cheese and Stilton, so the ricotta will make its extreme saltiness pleasantly milder.)

Serve the hot mashed sweet potatoes with a well in the middle, as you would serve regular mashed potatoes, and pour the cheese sauce in the well.

Answer 6

use 6-8 sweet potatoes depending on the size
poke the potatoes all over with a fork(leave the skin on) and rub them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper.
roast them in the oven until they're soft. let cool a couple of minutes then cut in half and scoop out the insides.add cream/milk salt pepper some butter and sour cream to tastei ussually add a little cayenne pepper but that's optional.just mash them up and away you go.if you have a food mill that works even better no lumps and a light uniform texture

Answer 7

This is so easy. I guarantee you'll love it & everyone will be like, "Wow, this is so good, what did you do to these potatoes?!"

Peel & cut 6 sweet potatoes into small uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Place them into cold water in a large heavy pot & add 2 tablespoons salt. Cover & let water come to a boil. Then lower heat to med. low & allow to simmer until soft. Usually about 15-20 min.

Drain the water. Add 1/2 stick of butter, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (trust me), 1 tsp. dry mustard, 1 pkg. whipped cream cheese, & 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Whip w/ your electric mixer, or by hand. Taste for salt & add more if necessary.

The result should be the best of all worlds. Creamy, salty, spicy & sweet @ the same time. Enjoy!

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU0gk

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
