Sweet Potato Mash
Sweet potato mash made our way in the Thermomix is not just a delicious and creamy side dish but also a nutritionally superior choice compared to regular potato mash. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A, which is essential for eye health and immune function. They also provide a good source of dietary fibre, promoting better digestion and helping to maintain a healthy gut. Additionally, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes, meaning they release sugar more slowly into the bloodstream, which helps in managing blood sugar levels and provides longer-lasting energy. Their natural sweetness and vibrant color make them an appealing choice for both adults and kids, and when prepared in the Thermomix, they can be transformed into a smooth, flavourful mash with minimal effort. Incorporating sweet potatoes into your diet is an easy way to boost your intake of essential nutrients while enjoying a tasty, comforting dish.
We absolutely love this recipe as an accompaniment to loads of dishes and I have listed just a few below, but in fact you can use this version of mash for any recipe that calls for mash, be it potato, cauliflower or any other veggie mash.
