Notes
- Drain potatoes well: To ensure the vegan mashed sweet potatoes don’t end up watery.
- For thicker/thinner mash: Adjust the amount of added liquid you use.
- Adjust the consistency: By adjusting the method used to mash the sweet potatoes. A fork will be thicker/chunkier than a potato masher, which is less fluffy than a potato ricer.
- Experiment with flavor profiles: Refer to our long list of flavor options and play around to find your favorites.
