Mashed Sweet Potatoes
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!

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!
