Sweet Mashed Potatoes
Cooking Steps
• Fill a pot with water set it on the stove and wash off your sweet potatoes. Then chop your sweet potatoes up into a decent size cube {mine are normally like an inch-ish}. And yes I keep the skin on my potatoes… it’s yummy and adds texture, but whatever floats your boat is good. Then chop up your half an onion {medium-rough chop}, toss it all in the pot, add in your rosemary sprigs and put the lid on {kind of half on, so steam can escape}, and let it boil and cook. You’ll know your potatoes are cooked when they’re fork tender.
• When done, pull out the rosemary sprigs {you’ll probably have lost leaves and have just the stem or mostly stem..which is a good thing} and drain off your potatoes. Don’t loose your onions! Those are yummy!
• Add in a few tbsps of butter, dash of basil, Salt + Pepper and a good spoonful of mayo {trust me on this one}. Mash it all together with your handy-dandy masher. Mr. Not So Paleo and I are very much into mashed potato w/ texture… so I literally give it a quick mash. If you like super creamy potatoes, you might want to whip out the hand mixer and go to town on it {or the stand mixer}. If you do that…. put everything into a separate bowl, don’t beat up your pretty pot like that! Taste test and add whatever you need more of.
Boom it’s done. Easy right? Exactly.. The rosemary will be a nice background flavor… if you love rosemary you can more sprigs when boiling or you can add some fresh in the potatoes after you mash ‘em up {instead of basil}.
