Best Sweet Potato Recipe!

Rachel Ray's Sweet Potato Recipe is amazing. But you can seriously get rid of half of the fat and sugar! If I were you (and if you were me) I made these last night and used about a tablespoon of butter instead of a half of a stick! She's crazy! And I used a 1/4 cup of brown sugar (which I still thought was way too much). The banana and the orange really made this recipe great. Yum!!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Boil potatoes until tender, drain and reserve. Return the pot to the stove top over medium heat. Add butter and bananas to the pot. Cook bananas 5 minutes and add the juice of 1 orange to the pot, reserve the zest. Allow the juice to cook out, 1 minute. Add potatoes to the pot and the stock and sugar. Mash potatoes, banana, stock and sugar together until well combined. Season with nutmeg, salt, pepper and orange zest, to your taste. Mash to combine spices and serve.
