Sweet potato mash couldn’t be easier to make yourself, so there’s no need to buy it from the shops. Sweet potatoescontain lots of lovely vitamins and minerals, as well as being high in fibre. Some of their biggest claims to fame are there good levels of vitamin A, vitamin C and manganese.
We’ve flavoured our sweet potato mash with a careful balance of sweet and sour, combining punchy wholegrain mustard and sweet maple syrup. If you prefer you can go more traditional with your sweet potato mash and flavour it with butter, milk and salt.
