Skinny Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Posted 2015-01-04 by Antoinette Tan ⇒ follow

My grandma told me that the sweet potatoes she had grown in her garden bed were what kept her alive when the Japanese were in Singapore during World War 2.

There are two types of this tuber – one comes in bright orange, the other in plain cream – but whatever its colour, the creamy sweet potato offers a sweet and nutty flavour, which perfectly complements both sweet and savoury dishes! Bake, roast or mash them to bring out their best.

Add to that its high fibre and rich vitamin A, C and B6 content, the sweet potato is a God-send, wartime or not.
