Tips
Your mashed white sweet potatoes can be part of a Caribbean feast or family dinner. A baked or roasted chicken breast with Caribbean jerk seasoning would be a good accompaniment, as would pork chops.
Besides enjoying them again as mashed potatoes, you can use them in a variety of ways. Top a shepherd's pie made with meat, vegetables, or lentils with the leftovers. You can also form them into potato patties adding vegetables, flour, and egg (or egg replacer), and fry them to make a great breakfast dish or appetizer to serve with dip or chutney.
Recipe Variations
For vegan mashed white sweet potatoes, use a milk alternative or broth, and replace the butter with vegan-friendly margarine.
To make the sweet potatoes richer, use half-and-half or light cream instead of milk.
To reduce the heat, replace the hot chile pepper with a few tablespoons of minced red bell pepper.

diet: GLUTEN FREE
INGREDIENTS
· 2 medium Japanese white sweet potatoes
· 2–3 tbsp avocado oil
· Salt & pepper (omit pepper for AIP)
· 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
· Flakey salt (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wash and peel the sweet potato, and chop into uniform cubes.
2. Using a large, deep skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the sweet potato.
3. Cook the sweet potato for 8-10 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning and evenly cooking the sweet potatoes. Rotating them often is key to getting them crispy.

4. Once the sweet potatoes are crisp, remove from the heat and serve topped with flakey salt if desired.
