Sweet Potato Mash

Sweet and naturally creamy, this mash is a great substitute for regular mashed potatoes. I love to serve it along side fish, so you’re cashing in on vitamin E as well as tons of vitamin A from the mash.

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds of sweet potatoes, about three medium potatoes
2 tablespoons trans-fat free, soft tub margarine, room temperature
1/4 cup of non-fat, skim milk, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Bring an inch of water to boil in a large pot, fitted with a steamer basket. Quarter the potatoes and steam 15-20 minutes until they are fork tender. Or using the microwave method, pierce the potatoes with a fork and cook 3-4 minutes until tender. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl.

With a hand masher or electric mixer, beat potatoes, alternating with the butter and milk until the mixture resembles a smooth puree. Beat in the honey, mustard, and salt. Serve immediately.
