This recipe was fairly easy to make, although it ended up taking longer than I thought. My vegetable peeler was no good for peeling the sweet potatoes (maybe I need a new one...) so I ended up having to peel them with a knife which took a little longer. Also, for some reason the water & potatoes took forever to boil. Aside from that the process went pretty well. I doubled the recipe because I happened to have 4 sweet pototaoes. I used pre-minced ginger and cilantro to save time (the kind you buy in a tube in the refrigerator section of the produce department). I thought the cilantro was a bit strange with sweet potato, I don't know if I would add it the next time I make it. I served the mashed sweet potato as a side dish with baked chicken & sauteed squash, yum!
My mother-in-law left me this note!
ReplyDeleteLynn Tungseth: When I made it, I used as little water as possible to cook the potatoes and ginger so I didn't have to drain it. I didn't want to lose any of the ginger flavor down the drain. There was a little water left so I ended up omitting the milk.
