I grew up eating more sweet potatoes than most people. My family regularly ate them grilled or sauteed in a little butter for everyday dinners. Therefore, I'm a bit skeptical of the sweet potato mash loaded with sugar and marshmallows that I have come across a few times. This is the recipe my mom has made every Thanksigiving since I can remember. It is simple, delicious and uses real sweet potatoes (as opposed to canned).
- Microwave 6-7 peeled sweet potatoes for ~5 minutes or until pretty soft, chop into large chunks
- Peel 6-7 Granny Smith apples and chop into large chunks
- Mix the sweet potatoes and apples into a square baking dish
- Dot with 3-4 tbls of butter
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the top
- Optional Additions: Drizzle with real maple syrup, sprinkle with finely chopped pecans
- Throw it in with the turkey and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes and apples are soft
Enjoy!
