Nutty Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Caitlin Bensel
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.
