Spinach and Goat Cheese Mashed Sweet Potato
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes (I used 1 large and 2 medium)
- 4 cups chopped spinach
- 3/4-1 cup milk (I used non-fat)
- 4 oz goat cheese
- Freshly cracked pepper and sea salt
1). Bring a large pot of water to a boil Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1-2 inch cubes. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes or until softened.
2). Drain the sweet potatoes. To the now empty pot, add the spinach, milk, and goat cheese and cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Turn off the heat and add salt and pepper.
3). Add the sweet potatoes back to the pot. Mash until you reach your preferred consistency. Add more milk if necessary. Enjoy!
