Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1.5 teaspoons yellow curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the sweet potato cubes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices become fragrant.

Step 5

Add the coconut milk to the saucepan and stir well to combine with the butter and spices. Heat for an additional 1 minute, then remove from the heat.

Step 6

Pour the spiced coconut milk mixture over the cooked sweet potatoes. Add the salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste, if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the curried mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
