Mashed Sweet Potatoes have the same texture of traditional mashed potatoes, but contain more flavor and none of the anti-nutrients of their white counterparts.
Sweet potatoes are good for you, partly because they are loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C, and other minerals and antioxidants. They can improve eye health, fight inflammation, heal the gut, and more. Use in place of mashed white potatoes for gatherings, or pair with your favorite animal protein for a hearty dinner:
