Unlocking the Richness of Purple Sweet Potatoes!

Purple sweet potatoes, with their captivating hue and delightful taste, offer a unique twist to traditional potato dishes. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these vegetables are rich in antioxidants, fibre and vitamins, making them a valuable addition to any diet. 

Purple Potatoes Cooking Instructions

• Boiled Brilliance: One of the simplest ways to prepare purple sweet potatoes is by boiling them. Let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. 
• Roasted Ravishment: For a more intense flavour profile, roasting purple sweet potatoes is the way to go. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potato pieces in olive oil, salt and your choice of seasonings – perhaps some rosemary or garlic powder for added depth and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
• Mashed Marvel: Transform purple sweet potatoes into a creamy, indulgent side dish by making mashed potatoes. Boil peeled and cubed sweet potatoes until fork-tender, then drain well. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth, adding a splash of milk, a knob of butter and seasoning to taste.
