Nutritional values

These delicious, traditional mashed sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A, which supports bone health, as well as calcium from the milk.

Easily turn this into a vegan recipe by replacing the cow's cream with a plant-based alternative. If counting calories use milk instead of cream.

Preparation steps

1.

Rinse the sweet potatoes, then steam for 30 minutes. 

2.

Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a ricer or mash with a heavy duty potato masher in the pan. Dry slightly by heating on low for about a minute, then mix in the butter. Add enough cream to the sweet potatoes until a creamy puree has formed. Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Transfer to bowls and serve.
