Sweet Potato Mash
This sweet potato mash is the perfect healthy side dish to accompany any meal, it’s sweet, rich and packed with flavour!
We’ve used coconut milk to add richness, while the cinnamon and ginger help deepen the natural sweetness of the potatoes. When buying the coconut milk, look for one without emulsifiers (guar gum, carrageenan, methyl cellulose, corn starch, sodium or potassium metabisulfate) as these are chemical additives which cause the fatty and watery layers to stop separating from one another, so you won’t be able to achieve the thick creamy consistency required for this dish. The brand we use is Rhythm, it comes in a packet not a tin and you can find it in Holland and Barrett.
Serves 2.
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes
2 cloves garlic
50-100ml/2-3.5fl oz coconut milk
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. pumpkin seeds
Fresh parsley to serve
Method:
1. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes then place in a pan of boiling water. Boil on a medium heat until tender (about 15 mins).
2. Drain, then add to a large bowl and mash with the garlic and coconut milk (add this a bit of a time until you get to the consistency you like).
