As if mashed sweet potatoes aren’t enough, I added wonderfully sweet and earthy caramelized onions. I could swim in caramelized onions they’re so delicious. And brie cheese is in these potatoes too. It melts into those sweet potatoes like butter!! Fresh sage is also mixed in. I’m forever obsessed with fresh sage- so yummy! This recipe began with a debate about sweet potatoes and yams. The market where I bought these labeled them as yams. But most of my internet friends convinced me that everything labeled as “yams” in the US is actually a sweet potato. Whatever. Every grocery store calls them something different. I decided to call them sweet potatoes. Either way, they’re freakin’ awesome.
How to make Mashed Sweet Potatoes:
Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until they are tender. While those are boiling away, follow directions in the recipe for caramelizing the onions and get the other ingredients ready to go.
Mash everything together. At this point, you may want to take the bowl in the closet, eat every single bite, and then lick the bowl. They are that good. Big hit. Clearly, I’m excited about these, and I hope you are too!
Everyone in my family gobbles up these mashed sweet potatoes like there’s no tomorrow. They’re great to serve with your Thanksgiving turkey, but they’re aso good served alongside a pork roast. The brie lends a delicious flavor to the recipe (if you’re a fan of brie, you can definitely detect that it’s there), and the caramelized onions add sweetness. I think the only thing missing is bacon. Enjoy!
