SIMPLE SWEET POTATOES



Simple Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes (minus the sweet). These are best served hot! The inside mixture will cool things down so it's edible. Remember real butter. Temperatures are important because they create the textures. I hope you all enjoy! I have turned non-sweet potato eaters into sweet potato lovers with this recipe. If you're not into onions you can use celery.

3 large sweet potatoes
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes: Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Cook the potatoes until tender: The potatoes are done cooking when they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the cooking method.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Sweet potatoes can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, cinnamon sugar, marshmallows, or maple syrup.
