Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in a small pot with the water or low-sodium vegetable broth.
  2. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until sweet potato is very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Check the small quantity of liquid frequently and add water as needed to prevent the pot drying out.
  3. Drain excess cooking liquid, reserving a small amount to adjust the mash's texture as needed.
  4. Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl or blender. Add the ripe avocado and finely grated fresh ginger.
  5. Mash or blend until smooth, adding reserved cooking liquid one tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency.
  6. Stir in the teaspoon of olive oil, if using.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  8. To reheat, gently warm the mash and stir well, adding a few drops of water or broth if needed to maintain softness.
