Every now and again we keep promising to ourselves that we'll try to cook a new recipe every week. Most weeks we forget. This week we went part of the way towards our goal by trying a different side dish.

We recently bought some sweet potatoes. So far we have had a roast veg, with sweet potato, onion, pepper and courgette. Not exactly a new recipe, just a variation on an existing one.

Tonight we tried sweet potato mash. I peeled and diced the sweet potatoes and boiled them for about 5 minutes or so, until the knife went in with no resistance. I mashed them, adding a sprinkling of jerk seasoning. I didn't add any butter or anything else - it didn't need it.
