directions

  • Place sweet potato cubes and garlic in a saucepan and pour in chicken or vegetable broth to within a half inch of the top of the potatoes.
  • Boil until very soft (the potatoes will sink down into the liquid as they cook), 12-15 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
  • Return potatoes to saucepan and mash with potato masher.
  • Slowly add some of the cooking liquid, stirring until you get the consistency of a loose puree. It need not be perfectly smooth.
  • Stir in thyme and butter, adding more to taste if needed, and season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Keep warm in a double boiler.
  • Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar over each portion just before serving.
  • For Vegetarian use the Vegetable Broth only.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
