Balsamic sweet potato mash

With the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes balanced by the tangy richness of balsamic vinegar, this dish is sure to be a hit on your dinner table. Whether you're preparing a holiday feast or simply want a healthier spin on your everyday meal, this recipe is both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients:

4 sweet potatos
1000g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1/3 cup olive oil
72g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor.
- Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Drain and Steam-Dry:
- Once the sweet potatoes are fully cooked, drain them in a colander. Allow them to sit in the colander for a few minutes to steam-dry, which helps to remove excess moisture and results in a better mash texture.
4. Mash the Sweet Potatoes:
- Return the drained sweet potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to the sweet potatoes.
5. Mash until Smooth:
- Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. You can make them as smooth or as chunky as you prefer.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the balsamic sweet potato mash to a serving dish and serve warm. This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses, including roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as part of a holiday feast.

Tips:

- Choose firm and blemish-free sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.

- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use a hand masher or electric mixer to achieve your preferred consistency, whether you like your mash chunkier or smoother.

- Taste and adjust the amount of vinegar, butter, and olive oil according to your preference.

Balsamic sweet potato mash offers a unique and flavorful alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. With its vibrant color and rich taste, this dish is bound to impress your family and friends. Serve it as a delectable side at your next meal and enjoy the delightful fusion of sweet and tangy flavors.
