Servings: 4

Ingredients

Sweet potatoes
2 large, peeled and diced
Rhubarb
2 cups, chopped
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Honey
2 tablespoons
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped rhubarb and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. Return the cooked rhubarb to the pot with the sweet potatoes.
  4. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the mixture together until you reach your desired consistency—smooth or chunky, it's your choice.
  5. Add the unsalted butter, honey, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to the mash. Stir well to combine and ensure the flavors meld together.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or more salt and pepper for balance.
  7. Serve the mash hot as a delightful side dish with your favorite main course, such as roasted chicken or grilled vegetables.
