Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato one per person, small, purple
- 1 banana one half per person, small to medium size
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter optional
- 1 tablespoon milk optional, or cream; dairy or non-dairy
Instructions
- Turn on your oven to 450°F.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes. Use a fork to puncture the skin in several paces, and then wrap them in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the skin and flesh is easily pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes cool enough so that you can handle them. If you want to peel them, use a knife to cut a thin slit in the skin and peel.
- Combine the peeled sweet potatoes and banana in a small to medium sized bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork until well-combined. Add salt and butter, milk, or cream, if you are using them, adding a little bit at a time and adjusting for taste and texture as desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Nutritional calculations shown are for these mashed sweet potatoes without milk, butter, or cream.
- Feel free to leave the skin on your roasted purple sweet potatoes if you like.
- To scale up this purple mashed sweet potato recipe, estimate one small or half a large sweet potato per person and one half of a small banana per person.
