We love sweet potatoes in my house! They are a great alternative to regular, starchy, white potatoes. Sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene that is a potent antioxidant and also packed with fiber to help with digestion. Around the holidays, sweet potatoes are typically used in casseroles or topped with butter and sugar. This Sweet Potato Mash uses the good fats of coconut milk and the sweetness of cinnamon and ginger to make a healthy version of a holiday favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds medium sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
