SWEET POTATO MASHED

A perfect pre-race meal that's easy to prepare and packed with loads of carbs.


PUBLISHED 08/02/2007

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into one-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg salt and freshly ground black pepper


Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until tender. Combine milk, ginger, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Drain the potatoes, return to the pan, add the milk mixture, and beat with a potato masher or handheld mixer until smooth. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Makes five servings.
