Sweet Potato and Coriander Mash image

This makes a lovely change from everyday mash and can be served in exactly the same way. I like to throw the coriander into the pan of boiling sweet potatoes for just a few seconds before I drain them. It somehow softens the flavour a little while fixing the colour at a lovely bright green.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg sweet potato
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
15 g fresh coriander
4 tablespoons creme fraiche or 4 tablespoons sour cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes and add to the pan with the garlic.
  • Return to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  • Add the coriander and cook for 10 seconds; drain well, then return to the pan.
  • Set the pan over a gentle flame and stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess water, but be careful not to let the potatoes catch and burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn off the heat and mash well.
  • Add the creme fraiche and some salt and pepper and mash together until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve warm.
