Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the potatoes and sweet potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Rinse the potato pieces under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Place the chopped potatoes and sweet potatoes into a large pot.
- Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the butter or olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and hot, add the fresh sage leaves.
- Cook the sage leaves until they are crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- Remove the pan from heat and set it aside.
- Once the potatoes and sweet potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer to your desired consistency.
- Pour in the milk gradually as you mash, mixing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully stir in half of the crisp sage and the buttery cooking oil into the mashed potatoes for added flavor.
- Sprinkle the remaining sage leaves and the chopped walnuts on top as a garnish before serving.
- Serve the sweet potato mash hot as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for the best texture and flavor.
- For a creamier mash, consider using a mix of both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes as suggested in the ingredient list.
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the mash to enhance their flavor and crunch.
- Use fresh sage if available, as it provides a more vibrant flavor compared to dried sage.
- To make the dish even more indulgent, consider adding a small amount of butter or olive oil when mashing the potatoes.
- Adjust the consistency of the mash by varying the amount of milk you add. For a richer texture, you can use whole milk or even a splash of cream.
Sweet potato mash with walnuts and crisp sage is a versatile and satisfying side dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses. With its excellent combination of textures and flavors, this mash is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
