If you prefer your sweet potatoes more on the savory side, this dish is for you. Since the tubers are already naturally sweet, we add just a small drizzle of honey to enhance their flavor. The tahini lends a distinct nuttiness and contributes to the overall creaminess of the dish. We use a food processor because it creates an incredibly smooth texture; you can also mash with a potato masher for a more rustic dish.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place peeled, cubed sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Place potatoes, tahini, honey, kosher salt, and, if desired, ground ginger in a food processor; process until smooth.
