Sweet potatoes get spiced up! These mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful with added ginger, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, coconut oil, and a dash of turmeric and curry. No sugar or salt is needed for these wonderful root vegetables! Creme fraîche adds a creamy texture and offsets the textures of the onions and garlic. I have never had this dish anywhere but at home as my own creation because I am always looking for ways to incorporate ginger, curry, and turmeric into my diet. I love all of the ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 6 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon crushed fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- 1/8 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Reduce heat to low and saute until onions are soft and clear but not toasted, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave 3 at a time on high power until tender, but not overdone, 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Mash and mix sweet potatoes with onion-garlic mixture, ginger, creme fraiche, curry powder, turmeric, and pepper until well combined.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use white or black pepper in this. Milk can be substituted for the creme fra?che, and olive oil or butter can be substituted for coconut oil. This will also result in a wetter mixture, so be mindful and add liquids a bit at a time to control the texture you wish to create.
