My cousin and I came up with this simple recipe, when she overbaked the sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving Dinner. They tasted great! I don't really like sweet potatoes, but I took thirds on this one.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 35m

Yield 12 , 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 sweet potatoes, peeled
1 cup applesauce
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Overcook the sweet potatoes. Either bake them in foil, steam, roast (I'm sure roasting would give them an even nicer flavour) or bbq. Get them overcooked so they are really soft and you can mash them with a fork.
  • Add applesauce (we used an Organics Applesauce snack cup. I think it might have been sweetened, so you may need to add some sugar to tast if you use unsweetened).
  • Add Cinnamon.
  • Mash it all together with a fork, or use a blender for a smoother texture and serve.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure they cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes are done baking when they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, but it will typically take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a stand mixer to mash the sweet potatoes.
  • Season the sweet potato mash: Season the sweet potato mash with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
