Simply Spuds™ Steamables™ Vermont-Style Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Onion
Ingredients:
- 1 bag (1.5 lbs.) of Simply Spuds™ Steamables™ Petite Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup maple sugar (or 1/2 cup maple syrup)
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (plus additional to taste)
- 2 tsp. kosher salt (plus additional to taste)
- Hot water
Directions
Microwave Simply Spuds™ Steamables™ in their bag according to directions. Use caution when removing the bag from the microwave; package will be HOT! Carefully cut the bag open and place the sweet potatoes on a cutting board.
Heat oil and butter in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, sugar (or syrup), salt, and pepper.
Sauté until onion is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add water a little at a time if the pan becomes dry. Set aside.
Peel sweet potatoes and place in serving bowl (BE CAREFUL! Sweet potatoes will be HOT!); mash to desired consistency.
Fold-in onion mixture.
Serve and enjoy!
