Ingredients

  • 2 large garnet or jewel yams peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons raw coconut butter
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook sweet potatoes and water in electric pressure cooker on high pressure for 6 minutes. Quick release the pressure. Alternatively, you can boil on stove until tender or place sweet potatoes and water in covered dish and bake at 350° F for 75 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes.
  • Mash or whip yams with coconut butter. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. For variety, try baking a combination of sweet potatoes or Japanese yams (purple skin, white flesh) instead of garnet or jewel yams.
  • Serve like you would mashed potatoes, or get extra fancy and add the mixture to a pastry bag and pipe it onto the plate.
