Description

Ingredients

• 1 -1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Kosher salt to taste
• Fresh black pepper to taste
• A couple drizzles of balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction

Directions

• Bring the broth to a boil with the potatoes and garlic. Make sure the broth covers the potatoes. Boil until soft and easily pierced with a fork.
• Drain off some of the broth from the pot and reserve it. Mash the potatoes thoroughly, adding back some of the reserved broth to get your preferred consistency. I like these slightly thinner than regular mashed potatoes.
• Add thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir and adjust seasonings, adding additional broth if necessary.
• Right before serving, drizzle with a little balsamic.
