Step 1
Place the chopped sweet potatoes in a large pan and cover with an inch of cold water. Add a pinch of salt, then cover with a lid and bring to a boil. (This method is best for even cooking, but if you're in a hurry just use boiled water from a kettle).
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and remove the lid. Simmer for around 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough to pierce easily with a fork or knife.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes well. After draining, return to the pan (off the heat) for a couple of minutes to allow more of the steam to escape.
Step 4
After a couple of minutes, add the plant-based butter, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Mash well with a potato masher until smooth.
Step 5
Add the sliced spring onions and the juice of half a lime (to start with), then stir through the mash using a wooden spoon. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more lime juice if necessary, and serve.If you have any leftovers, try your hand at these sweet potato pancakes.📸 Recipe steps >📖 Table of contents >
