Hanna Root Vegetable Mash

The spoon stands up in this hearty Hanna root vegetable mash

Mashed potatoes are one of those inventions that, no matter how many times you see them on a menu or in a cookbook, they evoke that home-cooked Americana comfort feeling. I’ve had so many different versions of mashed potatoes. Once when I met Tom Collicchio, he told me he used EVOO in his mashed potatoes. Some use butter. Once I met a chef who used cream cheese. Everyone has their favorite.

Ever since I discovered Hanna sweet potatoes, when I was on the Autoimmune Protocol, I have been in love with these dense, waxy, slightly sweet potatoes. I had never heard of them, and so many people to this day do not know what they are! So I’m happy to introduce you to my favorite potato. Meet Hanna, if you don’t already know, she’s delish! Mix them up with root vegetables of your choice and serve yourself a heaping helping of this new version of a traditional side dish.

Root Vegetable Mash

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Hanna sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 pound parsnips, carrots, or rutabaga
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 Tablespoons salt
• 2 Tablespoons ghee
• 1/2 cup chicken bone broth
• 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk

Method

1. Place the peeled and chopped vegetables with the garlic cloves into a large pot, with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Right before they begin to boil, add salt to the water.
2. Allow to boil, about 12 to 15 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted into a piece of vegetable without resistance.
3. Drain vegetables in a colander and place into the bowl of a stand mixer. (I use a Kitchenmaid mixer. You can use a hand mixer or a potato masher as well.)
4. Turn the mixer on to low speed, add the ghee and mix until vegetables break down into a thick puree. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl once or twice.
5. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix, increasing speed on mixer. Stop mixer to scrape sides of bowl and make certain all of the vegetables are becoming smooth.
6. Add the chicken bone broth slowly until you achieve the desired consistency. You may not need all of it. Adjust seasoning and serve right away. Extras keep for leftovers as well.
