A delightful twist on a classic sweet potato mash, infused with the warmth of ginger and a hint of sweetness.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into even-sized chunks.
Cutting the sweet potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the sweet potato chunks in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender.
Test the tenderness by piercing a chunk with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Let the sweet potatoes sit for a minute to release excess steam before mashing.
Mash the sweet potatoes with butter, ginger, and honey until smooth.
For a smoother mash, use a hand mixer or food processor.
Season the mash with white pepper and adjust salt to taste.
Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting.
Serve the mash warm as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
For a festive touch, garnish with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
