Apple cider enhances this simple sweet potato side dish. Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large) |
1 cup apple cider |
1 large braeburn apple, peeled and coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 tablespoon light brown sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
dash of nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until very soft; cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, bring apple cider and chopped apple to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat, and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until apple is very soft (apple may begin to lose its shape). Drain apple, reserving cooking liquid. Return liquid to saucepan; simmer over medium heat for 6 to 8 more minutes or until thickened to the consistency of syrup.
3. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, and place in a large bowl. Discard shells. Add cooked apple to potatoes; mash with a potato masher until blended. Add butter and next 4 ingredients; continue mashing, adding reserved cooking liquid, until potatoes are desired texture. Serve hot.
