Host, Andrew “Kappy” Kaplan and his twins Leo + Ella share a Thanksgiving/holiday recipe inspired by a Rachael Ray classic. It happens to be great all year round and not only is it delicious, sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can buy in the grocery store.
Bacon & Cheddar Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Serves 6-8 (or 10-12 as a tasting size portion)
2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (about 5 medium size or 8-10 small size)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
8 slices good quality bacon, cooked and rough chopped, set some aside for garnish (save 1 tablespoon of pan drippings)
3 scallions, sliced thin on a bias, for garnish
#1. Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, generously salt the water, stir, and turn heat down to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato pieces are tender and pierce easily with a fork or the tip of a knife.
#2. Strain well and add the cooked sweet potatoes back to the empty pot. Place the pot over low heat for about a minute to let any excess steam evaporate.
#3. Season with salt and pepper, add the cheddar cheese, and start to mash with a potato masher or a wooden spoon. Add the stock and bacon pan drippings and continue mashing. When it reaches your desired consistency, mix in the cooked bacon. Place in a serving bowl and garnish with scallions.
