Marsala Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Recipe courtesy of Holland House
Ingredients:
- 3 pound orange-flesh sweet potatoes (red garnets)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Holland House® Marsala Cooking Wine
- 6 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Grated peel of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup whipping cream (optional)
- Toasted pecan pieces
Directions:
Fill a 6-quart pot halfway with water. Peel each potato and place in pot to prevent browning. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and return to pot. Drain water so there is enough just to cover potatoes. Stir in salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
In a small microwaveable bowl or 1-cup glass measuring cup, heat marsala cooking wine in microwave 1 minute on medium power or until very hot. Stir in butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange peel.
When potatoes are cooked, drain water from pot. Add marsala cooking wine mixture to pot. Whip with electric beater until smooth. Stir in cream, if desired. Keep warm until ready to serve. Garnish with pecans.
Helpful Hint: Whipped sweet potatoes may be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Reheat in microwave, covered, on medium power. Stir occasionally.
This Mama’s tips
To reduce saturated fat, use a buttery spread instead of butter.
Instead of whipping cream, use no-fat evaporated milk.
If you’re allergic to nuts, use toasted pine nuts (which are actually seeds) instead of pecan pieces.
