Ingredients
- 2-1/2-3 lb. sweet potatoes, jewel or garnet variety
- 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp. salt*
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme or rosemary, optional
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 2-3 Tbsp. sour cream or plain Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tsp. Angostura aromatic bitters
Instructions
- Peel and dice sweet potatoes.
- Place in a large pot; add water to just cover potatoes. Stir in onion, garlic, salt, and if desired, thyme or rosemary. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain well.
- Add butter to potatoes in the pot. Use an immersion blender or electric mixer to whip potatoes. When smooth, stir in sour cream and Angostura bitters. Serve warm.
Notes
* Salt always means table salt unless otherwise noted. Table salt has more sodium than Kosher salt. If kosher is your preference, add a bit more than 1 teaspoon.
