Sweet potatoes are super healthy, packed with nutrients, good in helping cancer-fighting, and boosting our immune system. They are tasty and versatile in cooking. I often like using them to make desserts, like this Bubur Cha Cha, or make chicken curry. Sometimes, I just throw some in my oven to cook them as snack. They are low in starch as compared with potatoes. I made this mashed sweet potatoes as a side dish to go with the lemon garlic chicken thighs as a main, that’s served with some salad. I couldn’t complain anything when having this delicious meal.

Yield: 2 to 3 serves
Ingredients:
- 750 gm (3) sweet potatoes
- 4 tsp raw sugar, optional
- 20 gm butter, melted
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tsp whipping cream
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200C / 390F. Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes. (This time I used convection oven. Regular oven can be used as well. Please the notes.) If a chopstick can go through the thickest part, it’s cooked through.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the pot. Let them cool down until not too hot to touch. Cut into halves lengthwise. Spoon out the flesh. Put into a large mixing bow. Add raw sugar, butter, lemon juice and whipping cream. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as a side dish.
Notes:
- If using conventional oven, set the same oven temperature, but bake for 20 minutes more. Test with a chopstick and see if it’s cooked through or not.
- The sweetness of every sweet potato is quite different. Adjust the sugar amount to your liking.
One of my favourite root veggies! I can easily finish the whole portion.
