Mashed Sweet Potatoes
I made this for Thanksgiving last year and out of 10 of us, only 2 like sweet potatoes–really? Really! The good thing– more for the 2 of us. So I made a very small casserole dish of this recipe and those 2 of us, really loved it…
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Yield: 6-8 servings
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper-to taste
- 1/2 cup pecans-chopped
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork, place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a knife slides through it easily. Cut potatoes in half and scoop the flesh out into a small mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat butter, syrup, orange zest and balsamic vinegar over medium heat. Remove from heat, mash the potatoes and stir in the butter mixture. Place in a greased baking dish, top with the pecans. Bake for 30 minutes, then add the marshmallows for 5 more minutes.
