Caribbean Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

Steps:

• Cook potatoes, plantains and garlic in large pan of boiling water 15 to 20 min. or until potatoes are tender; drain. Return potato mixture to pan.
• Add cream cheese and lime juice; mash until cream cheese is melted and potato mixture is desired consistency. Stir in all remaining ingredients except 2 Tbsp. bacon. Spoon into serving bowl.
• Sprinkle with remaining bacon.

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes in a pan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, place the potatoes in a mixing bowl, and mash.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the jalapeno pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir the vegetables, brown sugar, and allspice into the mashed sweet potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Form the sweet potato mixture into 12 slightly flattened cakes about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter using your hands or large spoons. Place on a plate.
• Heat 1/4 cup canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sweet potato cakes in the skillet, four at a time, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on each side, 6 to 8 minutes. Add more oil if needed.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 mins or until tender, how long they take will depend on the size of the cubes. Drain very well and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes.
• Tip the potatoes back into the pan and mash with 1 tbsp butter using a fork or masher, then season well. Serve with the extra butter and more seasoning on top.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine sweet potatoes with eggs, brown sugar, margarine, rum, nutmeg, lime juice and zest until thoroughly mixed.
• Fold in diced bananas.
• Turn into shallow, greased 5-cup baking dish.
• Bake in a 375-degree oven for 40 minutes.
