from my momma... sweet taters!

So I'm not really sure where my love for food and cooking came from and whether it can be solely attributed to one source, but regardless, my mother has given me a lot of standby recipes for easy staples. I tend to tweak them here or there, depending on my tastes at the moment, but they always remind me of her.

Ok, enough sappy shit. I present to you... (drum roll)... the best mashed sweet potatoes everrrr.

Best part about this recipe? No measurements.

Ok so peel as many sweet potatoes as you want (I personally go with 2) and chop them into chunks, so as to better facilitate softening them. I mean, if you want to stare at 2 whole sweet potatoes boiling away for 174 minutes, be my guest! I, however, do NOT recommend this.

Alright, now boil some water. While you're waiting for that, pop some bacon in the oven.

Then throw the taters in the water and boil until soft. This batch took approx 15 minutes.





Once soft, throw them in a mixing bowl. Add, to taste, the following:

- butter
- low fat cream cheese
- nutmeg
- dried dill
- salt
- pepper

Seriously, just toss it all in. I used, ummm, 2 tbsp of butter? And like 2 spoonfuls of cream cheese? I dunno.





Yeah, whatever amount that is above.

Mix that all up. Top with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon (durrr). Consume. Enjoy.

Ps this shit reheats great.





nommmm

Thanks mommy for the recipe!
