A splash of balsamic vinegar adds an unexpected pleasing tartness to sweet potatoes Ingredients:
5 large sweet potatoes |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 pinch ground nutmeg or 1 pinch cinnamon |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Prick potatoes, then place directly on rack in center of oven.
3. Place a piece of foil on rack below.
4. Bake until easily pierced with a knife tip, about 50 minutes.
5. Or microwave on high until easily pierced, about 25 minutes.
6. When cool enough to handle, peel, then pass through a food mill or ricer, or mash with a potato masher.
7. (I love my ricer so I go that way) Place milk, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
8. Remove pan from heat and set on a heat-resistant surface.
9. Stir in mashed potatoes and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
10. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and potatoes have a smooth consistency.
11. Taste and add more vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
12. The advantage of doing this in a saucepan is that if potatoes have cooled a little, you can return pan to low heat and stir often until hot.
