Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 lbs sweet potatoes 1 kilogram
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 30 ml
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 16 grams
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 125 grams
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes, wash and pat dry, then cut into 1 inch (2.50 cm) thick pieces, add into a stock pot, fill with cold water, just enough to cover the sweet potatoes, season generously with sea salt and heat with a high heat

  2. Meanwhile, heat a small fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil, after 1 minute add in the cloves of garlic (peeled), mix with the olive oil, after 3 minutes and they´re lightly browned, remove from the heat and add them into a mortar, along with the parsley and a kiss of sea salt, using a pestle mash down until you form a paste

  3. After 15 to 20 minutes and the sweet potatoes are cooked through (pierce one with a toothpick to ensure they are cooked through), drain into a colander and shake off any excess water

  4. Add the drained sweet potatoes back into the stock pot (no heat), along with the garlic paste, using a potato masher mash down until you end up with a smooth texture

  5. Then add in the Greek yogurt at room temperature, the paprika, thyme and season generously with sea salt and black pepper, mix together until you end up with a creamy texture

  6. Transfer into a large serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley, enjoy!
