Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Simple and delicious. Browned butter and sage help to elevate these while keeping the dish savory and easy to make. So yummy!
Equipment
- 1 food processor
Ingredients
- 4-5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup milk of choice, I used buttermilk, adjust quantity to desired thickness
- 1/2 cup salted butter, 1 stick
- 4 sage leaves, plus more for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, add the diced sweet potatoes. Boil until soft and fork tender. Drain and put in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then add milk and pulse again until creamy.
- In a small frying pan over medium/medium low heat, add the stick of butter. Let it melt a bit and add sage leaves. Swirl the pan often to not burn the butter. It will become a little nutty smelling and the sage should be frying up and infusing the butter. The color should be a light amber brown color. Remove the sage leaves and set aside.
- Add some of the browned butter to the food processor and pulse a few times. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. To serve, dish the potatoes into a bowl, drizzle with remaining browned butter and garnish with sage leaves. Enjoy!
