Mashed Japanese Sweet Potatoes with Miso

  5.0 – 1 reviews  • Side Dish
These white fleshed sweet potatoes are dryer and a little starchier than their orange counterparts, but still have a nutty sweet flavor. Using both miso and Greek yogurt might seem confusing, but they each play a key flavor role while adding seasoning and moisture to this mash recipe.
