Our favorite sweet potato recipe is one that requires firing up the grill. But since the temperature these days have been close to freezing, this mashed sweet potato recipe is a sweet alternative. Plus, it’s super easy to make–great for moms of newborn babies, working moms, all moms, and pretty much everyone else!

Ingredients:

• 4 medium size sweet potatoes
• 1/2 c low fat sour cream
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 20-30 minutes, or until soft.

Drain the water. Add the sour cream and mash. Stir in the green onions and serve.

Another alternative:

Instead of the green onions, stir in some crushed raw or toasted walnuts. That gives it a rich, warm, earthy flavor while the green onions remind us of the summer. We like both!
