Mashed Sweet Potatoes

By krystallondon

This is the perfect dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Make it about an hour ahead of time and keep the potatoes warm in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1 (6 oz) can gluten-free pineapple-orange juice, divided
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger root
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1" chunks. Place in a large pot full of cold water; add half of the juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are soft.

2. Drain and return to hot pot. Add olive oil and ginger root; mash using a potato masher. Add remaining pineapple-orange juice along with salt and pepper; stir until combined. Serve immediately or hold on warm in a slow cooker.
