Sweet Potato Puree With Ginger And Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Add a generous amount of salt and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and continue mashing until the sweet potatoes form a fairly smooth puree. Add the remaining cooking liquid as needed to work the sweet potatoes into a smooth puree.
• Set the skillet back over medium-high heat.

Stir in the cilantro and salt to taste and serve immediately.
