Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 2 pounds total) sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 1.5 to 2 inches each.
Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water if desired.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
Add the coconut milk, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper to the sweet potatoes.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding a bit more coconut milk if needed.
Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the sweet potato mash to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy!
