Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Apples

A rich potato puree with caramelized apples on top (though I would recommend using both caramelized apples and marshmallows, and they both add something different!) Served it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

Step: 1

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until soft, about 1 hour. Scoop the meat from the skin, transfer to a bowl, and smash using an electric mixer or wooden peg.

Step: 2

Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon into smashed sweet potatoes; allow to cool.

Step: 3

Stir cream, orange juice, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, salt, and pepper into smashed sweet potatoes; transfer to a baking dish.

Step: 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 5

Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir apples and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in the melted butter until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon caramelized apples over smashed sweet potatoes.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do more often .
