Notes
- If you find that your sweet mash is a bit watery after mashing, put it back on the stove on medium-low heat. The heat will cook off the extra moisture.
- For the preferred smooth texture it is recommended to peel the sweet potatoes.
- For an ultra-smooth texture, use an immersion blender for 20-30 seconds instead of just a masher.
- Boost the protein by stirring in ½ cup plain Greek yogurt and ¼ cup cottage cheese before mashing (then finish with herbs).
