Perfect for a comforting meal, it balances the natural sweetness of the potatoes with aromatic herbs and a hint of garlic.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes

Herb and Dairy Mix

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes to ensure even cooking and faster boiling.
  2. Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Drain the Potatoes: Once tender, drain the water completely and return the potatoes to the pot to begin mashing.
  4. Mash and Mix: Add the unsalted butter, plain Greek yogurt, whole milk, chopped rosemary, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Using a handheld electric mixer or potato masher, mash the mixture until smooth or to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Transfer the herby mashed sweet potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy warm as a hearty side dish to your favorite mains.

Notes

  • For a thinner consistency, add additional milk gradually while mashing.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried rosemary and parsley can be substituted in smaller amounts.
  • You can substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangy twist.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with roasted meats or a vegetarian main.
  • To keep leftovers fresh, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
