Since starting the autoimmune protocol in 2012, these Mashed Sweet Potatoes have been a staple at most of my family meals, whether I need a quick, healthy side for a weeknight or something to sub for mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. This recipe freezes well, making it a great candidate for batch cooking. It can also be made with canned sweet potatoes if you don’t have the time or energy to bake and mash any fresh ones. Enjoy!
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.

I’ve been making my mashed sweet potatoes in my instant pot! So easy! Just add about a cup of water, then the peeled, chopped sweet potatoes. Press “Manual” button and 6 minutes. Once done, quick release, drain water, mash and add ingredients. Simple!
That sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip!
