Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg sweet potatoes unpeeled
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Prick sweet potatoes, place on a tray.
  2. Roast at 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 6 for 45–60 minutes.
  3. Scoop out flesh, discard skins.
  4. Mash thoroughly.
  5. Stir in butter, cinnamon and nutmeg while hot.
  6. Season, serve immediately.

Notes

Roasting rather than boiling is essential for a thick, non-watery mash.
Mash while hot so the butter melts in evenly.
Freezes well for up to 3 months.
Use a masher, not a food processor, to avoid a gluey texture.
