Purê vegano de batata-doce

Ingredientes

• 2 lb sweet potatoes (peeled and roughly chopped)
• 1/4 c soy milk (up to 1/2 cup)
• 2 tsp white Miso paste
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   --- Cook the potatoes ---

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover the pot with a lid keeping it slightly ajar and cook the potatoes until they are tender when poked with a knife, about 15 minute.

3. 3

   --- Drain and add Miso ---

4. 4

   Drain all cooked water in a colander and then return the potatoes back into the pot. Add the dairy-free milk, Miso paste, salt and vegan butter.

5. 5

   --- Mash the potatoes ---

6. 6

   Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. If necessary, you can add more plant-based milk. Give the potatoes a try to see if the dish needs more salt. You can add a pinch of salt, but generally speaking, it's not supposed to be too salty. Miso paste will give the potatoes a salty bite but it won't be overpowering.

   --- Serve ---

8. 8

   Transfer mashed sweet potatoes in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with some thyme leaves and if you want, drizzle with some extra vegan butter. If you don't have thyme, you can use fresh parsley too. Or, if you like your mashed potatoes to be slightly spicy, you can also sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
