Sweet potato mash is a delicious and hearty twist on traditional mashed potatoes. It's perfect for those looking to add a bit of richness and flavor to their side dish repertoire. With creamy sour cream, crispy bacon, and savory parmesan cheese, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

4 sweet potatos
1000g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
4 bacon strips
100g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
80g
1/4 cup scallions
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut them into chunks for quicker and more even cooking.

3. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.

4. Cook the Bacon:
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat until they are crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
5. Mash the Sweet Potatoes:
- Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
- Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.

6. Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the sour cream, ensuring it's fully incorporated into the sweet potato mash.
- Mix in half of the grated Parmesan cheese and half of the crumbled bacon.

7. Season and Mix (Optional):
- Taste the mash and season with salt and pepper if desired.

8. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Transfer the sweet potato mash to a lightly greased or non-stick baking dish.

9. Top and Bake:
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the mash.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

10. Garnish:
- Remove the dish from the oven.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and finely chopped scallions over the top.
11. Serve:
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious loaded sweet potato mash!

Tips:

- For an even creamier texture, consider adding a bit of milk or heavy cream to the mash.

- Try using different types of cheese, like cheddar or gouda, for a unique twist.

- Leftover mashed sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.

- Feel free to add other toppings like chives, jalapeños, or even a dollop of butter for extra flavor.

Sweet potato mash is an excellent side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The savory bacon and cheese, combined with the creamy texture of the sweet potatoes and the freshness of the scallions, create an unforgettable flavor experience. Enjoy this dish hot and fresh right from the stove.
