Delightful Whipped Sweet Potatoes

This is a side dish that leaves everyone wanting for seconds; so be sure to make enough. You cannot make too much because this potato dish is fantastic even after reheating!



Bring to a boil in a large pot:

1 qt water

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

ADD without peeling:

1 large chopped Sweet Potato or 2 medium (I use Organic Beauregard Yams)

3 medium chopped russet potatoes

6 medium chopped organic carrots



Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking ingredients for 30 minutes or until tender.

Strain these ingredients and place in a large bowl.



ADD:

1/2 cup organic milk or non-dairy beverage alternative (tempt hemp milk is our favorite)

1/2 stick butter or a vegan alternative such as, "Shedd's Willow Run Soy bean margarine”.



With an electric mixer, whip everything together.
Add salt and pepper to your taste.

This dish requires 45 to 50 minutes to prepare and cook, and will serve 6-8 people.



Enjoy!

*Both sweet and russet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, beta carotene (a vitamin A equivalent nutrient), vitamin C, and vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese.
