Ingredients

  • 6 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 2 cups whole milk plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender, 7-9 minutes. Strain potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients to a food processor (yogurt through pepper) as well as the strained sweet potatoes. Pulse on high until smooth and creamy.
  3. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a food processor, you can puree with an immersion blender or a high speed blender. They also taste delicious with a hand-held potato masher.
  • Yes. This dish reheats very well.
