I really LOVE mashed potatoes, it’s one of my all-time favorite side dishes and I ate it a lot when I was a child. However, I’ve onlye eaten mashed sweet potatoes, maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life and although I think it tastes great, I’ve never made it at home and I’m so happy with this recipe, it’s AMAZING!

This is comfort food, so delicious, simple and satiating, and is ready in about 30 minutes. Besides, it’s a great side dish. I prefer to eat it with some veggies (raw or steamed) and some plant-based protein like tofu or canned legumes. Mashed sweet potatoes are delightful hot or cold, so it’s a perfect food to include in your lunch box.

Ingredients

▢ 2 pounds sweet potatoes
▢ ¼ cup plant milk of your choice, I used soy milk
▢ 2 tablespoon maple syrup
▢ 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon sea salt
▢ ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Peal and dice the sweet potatoes and steam (or boil) them for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re soft.
Add the steamed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mash. We used an immersion blender, but feel free to use a potato masher, a fork or even a regular blender.
Top with some chopped walnuts and dried dill (optional) and serve.
Keep the vegan mashed sweet potatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days.
