I'm glad you distinguished between the sweet potatoes and yams, because I always wonder which one to get. I love my sweets so the bread pudding may be first. Are the ginger green beans easy to make? I love the way you two eat!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1753335 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:29:48 +0000 Aquamarine 1753335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds wonderful!

I often roast sweet potatoes in the oven, peel after they're fork tender, and mash by hand or with my kitchenaid to a perfectly smooth consistency. Is it important to boil rather than bake? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1753154 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 22:22:37 +0000 columbine(erin) 1753154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds absolutely delicious. I am making my grandmother'a sweet potato soufflé for a gathering, but I love sweet potato dishes anytime and will love to try this. I also love to cook and bake and don't follow the recipe, hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1753142 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 21:12:16 +0000 Sal 1753142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am quite intrigued by this.</p> <p>If any of you come to NZ you will learn one of our national foods is Kumara, which is a sweet potato. &nbsp;I love them roasted but they make a good mash. &nbsp;I also add them to curries and soups, but never thought to make the mash incorporate those delicious flavours.</p> <p>I constantly adapt recipes - no thyme, add oregano, no beans, oh well add broccoli, needs some sweetness, add some honey... &nbsp;I can and do follow a recipe but many of my recipes are very vague.</p> <p>I agree with baking, precision and care is needed!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1753072 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 17:55:02 +0000 MsMary 1753072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh.

I just clipped a very similar recipe from the New York Times for our Thanksgiving this year! </p> <p>And I found a recipe for homemade cranberry sauce with chili so we will be very spicy indeed!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752996 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 15:00:52 +0000 Angie 1752996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pleasure, ladies. </p> <p>Inge, may I suggest you add a little marge or butter to the mash - it doesn't bind otherwise. Texture is off. You don't taste it though. (You eat biscuits, ice-cream, cake and chocolate with lots of butter in it - same analogy).&nbsp;</p> <p>YES, Anne. It's the same.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisap, we eat a lot of sweet potatoes too. How do you make your cranberry sauce?&nbsp;</p> <p>Sara, art is not precision! Cooking works when you wing it. Baking - on the other hand - is best when you follow the recipe.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752981 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:33:02 +0000 Anonymous 1752981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely going to make this. We eat a lot of sweet potatoes, and I'm always looking for something different to do with them.

I make a version with all the same ingredients sans the coconut milk but use coconut oil instead. And use Indian curry leaves with the ginger and garlic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752816 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 01:29:03 +0000 Karie 1752816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds delish!

I'm all about those flavours - in fact I made I made a soup with fairly similar ingredients (different ratio, of course) just last week. I'll be trying this for sure!</p> <p>I'm trying to remember if you've shared this one before as it sounds a bit similar.</p> <p>Thanks Angie</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752806 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 00:51:23 +0000 carter 1752806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds wonderful! I may have to give it a try this year. I am also allergic to dairy.</p> <p>Joy, be mindful of which margarine you choose if you make this for the little girl. Most have dairy in them. Smart Balance Light is one of the few that is completely dairy-free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752790 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 23:58:44 +0000 Anonymous 1752790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Thai favors very much and will try your mashed sweet potatoes soon. I may make this for Thanksgiving after running the ingredients past the mother of a little girl for whom some foods cause internal bleeding. I think dairy is one of them. Thank you for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752772 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 23:08:58 +0000 Meredith 1752772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds delicious! I love cozy mashes and look forward to trying your recipe soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752762 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 22:31:46 +0000 Ledonna N. 1752762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds great. Our whole family gets together. 75 people. We each bring our best dish. I cannot cook so I bring drinks and paper products. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thai-sweet-potato-mash#post-1752756 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 22:04:08 +0000 Angie 1752756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I make for our Thanksgiving Day table every year because our host - Meredith - is allergic to dairy. AND we do the global Thanksgiving thing, which is less traditional. </p> <p>I LOVE to cook and bake, but do not follow recipes. So if you’re fine winging it without quantities or rigorous instructions, this recipe is for you. </p> <ul> <li>Saute LOTS of fresh ginger and garlic and keep to one side.</li> <li>Peel and boil 2 to 6 sweet potatoes (NOT YAMS - because they don’t taste as nice). The quantity depends on how much you want to make. I usually peel 4 large sweet potatoes. They must be very soft and cooked through.&nbsp;</li> <li>Mash them up with lots of margarine (which I have to use because Meredith is allergic to butter). But if you can eat butter - use that instead.</li> <li>Add some coconut cream - but not too much. Coconut cream is MUCH better than coconut milk. Otherwise the mash gets too runny.&nbsp;</li> <li>Add salt to taste, and perhaps a little sugar too.&nbsp;</li> <li>Add the sautéed fresh ginger and garlic.&nbsp;</li> <li>And add some coriander powder and chili flakes (optional). Sometimes I add fresh coriander leaves (cilantro to my US friends).&nbsp;</li> <li>Serve piping hot. Is nicest fresh, but can be warmed up the next day for sure. Great with cranberry sauce.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>And here’s the South African Bread &amp; Butter Pudding recipe for those who missed it seven years ago: </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....er-pudding</a></p> <p>Hope it works out. xo </p>
