We will be visiting the in laws for Thanksgiving, and each family brings a little something to share. This year I am bringing a Mashed Yams dish. Savory and a little sweet. A great combo of the veggies in my produce bin . I did not buy any thing extra for this dish!
What I used:
Rough chop all of the veggies & apple and place in a big enough pot that has a lid. Add spices , stock and enough water to come up to an inch before covering, I don't want too much water in here, as it will have great flavor for the mashing, yet I want it to cook the items.
Bring to boil, and cover and reduce heat and cook for 20 - 25 mins or until the yams and tators are soft.
Bring out the most wonderful kitchen tool, the stick blender. Add the butter and a splash of milk Blend and into a smooth mash. I am using the stick blender instead of a masher or a mixer, to get a smoother consistency. Add milk as needed to get that smooth creamy mashy goodness.
If you really want to increase the fanciness, grate fresh Nutmeg over each serving, on on top the Mashed Yams in their serving dish.
I made this a day ahead of time and placed in my Crock Pot. This will save the family stove top space.
