CURRIED SWEET POTATO MASH



Curried Sweet Potato Mash image

Sweet potatoes get spiced up! These mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful with added ginger, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, coconut oil, and a dash of turmeric and curry. No sugar or salt is needed for these wonderful root vegetables! Creme fraîche adds a creamy texture and offsets the textures of the onions and garlic. I have never had this dish anywhere but at home as my own creation because I am always looking for ways to incorporate ginger, curry, and turmeric into my diet. I love all of the ingredients!

CURRIED COCONUT SWEET POTATO MASH



Curried Coconut Sweet Potato Mash image

Categories     Potato     Bake     Coconut     Kosher     Simmer     Boil

Yield MAKES 4 CUPS; SERVES 6 TO 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 or 4 large), scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3/4 cup coconut milk (see Tip)
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, more as needed
6 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes, sweetened or unsweetened (see Note)

Steps:

  • Fit a steamer basket into a large pot, add water just to the bottom of the basket, and arrange the sweet potatoes in a snug layer in the basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, cover the pot, and lower the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with a skewer, 15 to 20 minutes. (Keep an eye on the water level during cooking, and add more if it threatens to boil off .) Remove from the heat, carefully remove the potatoes from the basket, and set aside.
  • Pour the water out of the pot and return to medium heat. Add the butter, curry, cinnamon, and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, bring to a simmer, and cook for an additional minute to thicken slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Carefully peel off and discard the potato skins. Add the potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth and all ingredients are blended. (At this point you can adjust the consistency of the potatoes by adding up to 1/2 cup of water.) Taste and add more salt or lemon juice as needed. If necessary, rewarm over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • To serve, transfer to a serving dish and top with the coconut.
  • You can make these potatoes up to a day ahead. Reheat in a covered ovenproof dish in a 350°F oven until heated through, about 40 minutes. Garnish just before serving.
  • Tip
  • Make sure you use coconut milk (which is unsweetened) and not coconut cream (which has a hefty dose of sugar added). And because the fatty coconut solids rise to the top, it's always a good idea to whisk the entire contents of the can before measuring out the amount you need.
  • Note
  • To toast coconut, spread it in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 350°F oven, stirring occasionally, until golden.
