Mashed sweet potato has grown on me slowly. A staple to Christmas and Thanksgiving menus, I used to take the smallest little dollop in comparison to all the other, much tastier things to be eaten. However, my opinion is changing!
This recipe brings out the clean taste of delicious sweet potato which meets the complementary soft sweetness of the roasted apple perfectly. It is a super easy dish to prepare with the help of a stand mixer that can quickly puree the roasted potato and apple together!
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
1 gala apple, cored and chopped in two
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
salt to taste
*Note, these values produce about 2 good servings of mash, the ratio of sweet potato to apple could be maintained when increasing the dish to accommodate for a larger crowd.
Preheat the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place whole sweet potatoes and halved apple on a baking sheet and bake until very soft (approx. 1 hour). Remove and let cool until cool enough to handle. Remove skins. Place sweet potato and apple in the stand mixer bowl outfitted with the metal whip. Add the butter and salt. Beat on high until sweet potatoes are smooth and only small chunks of apple remain.
Place in an oven safe dish and return to the oven approximately 10 minutes before eating to warm the mix back up to an enjoyable temperature.
This recipe receives a three whisk rating simply because the stand mixer made it super easy to mash the apples and sweet potato. It saved a good chuck of time and effort to throw everything into the bowl and turn on the mixer while I got the rest of the meal ready to plate.
