BLACKENED SWEET POTATO MASH

A barbecue twist on conventional sweet potato mash with smoky skins, spring onions and a squeeze of lime

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1kg sweet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lime , plus 1 cut into 4 wedges to serve
4 spring onions , sliced on the diagonal
extra virgin olive oil , for drizzling

Steps:

  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then put each one on a piece of foil. Drizzle with a little oil, season, then tightly wrap them. If you have a couple of smaller potatoes, wrap them together so they cook evenly.
  • Carefully place directly onto the coals of a hot barbecue and cook for 35-40 mins until partly blackened and completely soft inside. To test, insert a skewer through the foil into the centre of the potato - it should go in easily. Alternatively, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes on the top shelf of the oven and roast for 45 mins, then heat the grill to its highest setting and grill for 5 mins, turning halfway, until slightly charred.
  • Put the potatoes on a large platter and lightly mash with a fork, skins and all - they will fall apart easily. Drizzle over the lime juice and a good glug of extra virgin olive oil, and season well before topping with the spring onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, (approximately 4 to 6 yams or about 12 sweet potatoes
depending on size) peeled and cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks or 3/4 pound) butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 to 1/2 cup cream, as needed to achieve desired consistency
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • These potatoes can be steamed to preserve more of the flavor and vitamins (or boiled if you wish), until tender. (To steam them, you can place them in a single layer on a rack placed over a large shallow pan of water with a large pot lid to cover. Replenish water in pan if it boils off before they are tender.)
  • Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl and mash by hand with a masher or fork. Then, using a beater, whip in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and enough cream to achieve your desired consistency. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
