Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 pounds sweet potatoes

1/4 cup unsalted butter -- (a large knob)

6 slices fresh ginger -- finely chopped (6 to 8)

6 ounces milk

3 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Boil, bake or microwave the potatoes until just soft. Cool, then peel, slice

lengthwise and turn out into a large saucepan with the butter and ginger. Heat

gently while you mash and mix well with a good dose of salt and pepper. Add the

milk a splash at a time, stirring constantly to blend well. Since sweet potatoes

vary so much in the amount of water and starch they contain, some will need much

more liquid than others. The final consistency should be the same you would aim

for with ordinary mashed potatoes. The recipe can be prepared in advance to this

point.

 

When ready to serve, re-heat the mash gently, if necessary, adding more milk if

the potatoes have dried out. Add the sherry and stir well, using more if you

like a stronger flavour. Serve immediately.

NOTES : We need something hot to partner the roulade, and these sweet potatoes

with ginger are not merely yummy, they are appositely festive. Instead of

mashing them with a masher, as the recipe calls for, you could be modern and try

just breaking them up gently with a fork in the saucepan, assimilating the sharp

ginger and then the sherry vinegar into the smash, and using smaller amounts of

milk.
