Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Brown Butter and Sage
Description
This recipe begins by cooking sweet potatoes until tender by baking or microwaving, then peeling and mashing them until nearly smooth using a mixer paddle attachment. The highlight is the brown butter sage sauce made by carefully heating butter and sage until the butter turns golden and aromatic. This is folded gently into the mashed sweet potatoes to enhance the rich texture and impart a fragrant herbal note.
The resulting mash is versatile with a creamy consistency and a balance of sweet and savory flavors. Seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper is done to taste, elevating the natural flavors.
This dish serves about six portions and works well as a side for roasted meats or festive holiday meals. It combines straightforward preparation with an elegant finish using fresh sage.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato cooked and mashed
- 6-7 sage cut chiffonade, large leaves
- 6 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean and cook the sweet potatoes until flesh is tender. Either prick and bake or microwave. About 40 minutes if baking, about 5-7 minutes if microwaving, depending on the size and number of sweet potatoes.
- Peel and reserve flesh. (I save the peels for my dog)
- In the bowl of a mixer, fitted with a paddle, beat the sweet potatoes for 1 or 2 minutes, until almost smooth.
- In a saucepan over a medium heat, melt butter and sage together, watching carefully until it begins to turn golden brown. Just as it turns nutty brown and fragrant, remove from the heat and add to the mashed sweet potato.
- Blend sweet potato mash and browned butter and sage until mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serves 6, 1/2 cup each.
