The Best Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Hello Dear Reader,

Do you know, growing up, I was only aware of the white Sweet Potato, I don't remember ever having the beautiful orange Sweet Potato available today. It was so totally different to the orange one, it was waxy, buttery and really soft when roasted or mashed, with a slightly mauve/ashen coloured flesh inside. I actually haven't had one of those for many, many years, I will have to look out for that variety and take a trip down memory lane.

Until then, I am very happy to both grown and buy (when mine aren't big enough) the gorgeous orange variety, I just love it. So full of goodness and totally delicious, I've used it in so many recipes like this one and this one, oh and this one, well you get the idea.

Today, I am keeping it really simple, but still so delicious. Mashed Sweet Potato with sour cream, spring onions, garlic and parsley to be precise.

Heres's how I made it-
