    I really LOVE mashed potatoes, it's one of my all-time favorite side dishes and I ate it a lot when I was a child. However, I've onlye eaten mashed sweet potatoes, maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life and although I think it tastes great, I've never made it at home and I'm so happy with this recipe, it's AMAZING!

    This is comfort food, so delicious, simple and satiating, and is ready in about 30 minutes. Besides, it's a great side dish. I prefer to eat it with some veggies (raw or steamed) and some plant-based protein like tofu or canned legumes. Mashed sweet potatoes are delightful hot or cold, so it's a perfect food to include in your lunch box.

    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric
    • 2 pounds sweet potatoes
    • ¼ cup plant milk of your choice, I used soy milk
    • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • Chopped walnuts and dried dill for topping, optional
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Peal and dice the sweet potatoes and steam (or boil) them for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they're soft.
    • Add the steamed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mash. We used an immersion blender, but feel free to use a potato masher, a fork or even a regular blender.
    • Top with some chopped walnuts and dried dill (optional) and serve.
    • Keep the vegan mashed sweet potatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days.

    Notes

    • Use any sweetener instead of the maple syrup or omit this ingredient.
    • Add your favorite herbs and spices.

      Hi there,

      Could you tell me what is the purpose of the nutritional yeast please?

      Thanks!

        Hi! Nutritional yeast tastes similar to cheese 🙂

      Wow! My wife and I both agree that these are better than any mashed sweet potatos we have ever had. Unreal. Our house guests had no idea they were vegan. We did use quite a bit more coconut milk for our corrent consistancy. So delicious. -

      My roasted sweet potatoes were overcooked & I wanted to revive them. This was the perfect solution.
      I didn't have the nutritional yeast, but used the other ingredients. It was a smashing success (pun intended). I even used the cooked peels (finely chopped) because of their high nutritional content. Delicious, healthy & filling. Thanks for a great site with great recipe ideas.

      Thanks for posting this recipe. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Can I use almond milk (sweetened with agave)?

        Hi Daniel! You're so welcome 🙂 Almond milk is okay, but it's better to use unsweetened milk for this recipe.

      Made these for our 14th annual College Thanksgiving yesterday, and they were delicious... for vegans and non-vegans alike. Thank you!
