- Choose fresh produce: Select sweet potatoes and pumpkins that are firm and free of blemishes for the best flavor and texture.
- Peel and chop evenly: Ensure that the sweet potatoes and pumpkin are peeled and chopped into evenly-sized pieces to allow for consistent cooking.
- Steam or boil: You can either steam or boil the vegetables until they are tender. Steaming helps retain more nutrients, while boiling might be faster.
- Mash thoroughly: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the cooked vegetables until smooth. For a creamier texture, consider using a food processor or blender.
- Season to taste: After mashing, add salt, pepper, and fresh thyme to your liking. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Keep warm before serving: If you're not serving the mash immediately, keep it warm by placing it in a covered dish in a low-temperature oven or warming drawer.
