Mashed Sweet Potato With Nutmeg and Sour Cream - 2013
Recipe courtesy of Joan Wozny
INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the sweet potatoes with the oil and place in an ovenproof baking dish and roast potatoes until tender, about 1 hour, turning once after 30 minutes. When potatoes are cooked, set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half and squeeze the potato pulp into a 3 quart saucepan. Set the flame to medium-low and mash gently until smooth with a potato masher. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, sour cream, and butter and fold together until thoroughly combined. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, or keep warm, covered, until ready to serve.
Served at Thanksgiving 2013 in Lewisville, this dish is not your typical sweet potato recipe. With the absence of marshmallows and brown sugar, this dish doesn't carry the sweetness of other sweet potato recipes. It's light, fluffy and oh so good!
