Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of sea salt.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the boiling water and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot or transfer to a large bowl.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Alternatively, leave some chunks for a more rustic texture if preferred.
Mix in the coconut milk, ghee, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper (if using). Continue mashing or stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mash reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or cinnamon if needed.
Transfer the sweet potato mash to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
