Recipe Tips

For a healthier version of this mashed sweet potato recipe, you can substitute the butter and cream for an equal amount of coconut milk. You can also use a potato ricer instead of a masher for a finer and creamier texture. If you want to add a kick, you can sprinkle in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes!

For a lighter and fluffier texture, you can add a few tablespoons of non-dairy milk to the mashed potatoes. This will help to lighten the potatoes and make them easier to mash. You can also add in a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Finally, you can top your mashed sweet potatoes with toasted nuts or seeds for a delicious crunch!
