Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes

savory mashed sweet potatoes - ready for serving

I’m on a mission to stock this food blog with all the holiday recipes you might need, and it’s about time I shared a mashed sweet potato recipe. The problem with most mashed sweet potatoes is that they’re made even sweeter with brown sugar and marshmallows, and sweet potatoes are already plenty sweet on their own!

So, I added savory ingredients to my mashed sweet potatoes to balance out that inherent sweetness. Finely chopped fresh parsley and green onion combined with some sour cream and butter are all you need for incredible savory mashed sweet potatoes.

I don’t know why these basic ingredients create such a stellar flavor combination, but they do. These mashed sweet potatoes took a cue from my baked rosemary Parmesan sweet potatoes (another simple holiday side option) and the quinoa-stuffed sweet potatoes in my cookbook.

If you’re looking for regular mashed potatoes (and by regular, I mean my family’s favorite), meet Lucille’s mashed potatoes. For more meatless holiday recipes, click here, and if you’re looking for last-minute gifts, here’s my 2017 gift guide. Have a wonderful weekend!
