Mix up your sweet potato mash with other ingredients

There are numerous ways of adding your own touch to this sweet potato mash recipe. Replace some or all of the sweet potatoes with other potatoes or vegetables of your choice. Adding a few russet potatoes will make the sweet potato mash lighter and fluffier without compromising on the taste. Cauliflower is also a good variation with its mild taste and fluffy texture. Celeriac is another good choice but be careful not to replace too many of the sweet potatoes, as the celeriac can easily take over. You can add more flavour to sweet potato mash by adding, for example, garlic, onion, thyme, or rosemary to the water when boiling the potatoes. This will add a very subtle flavour to the sweet potato mash. If you want a stronger flavour, you can add the flavours to the butter. Mix cold butter with spices or melt the butter in a pan and add, for example, garlic or herbs. This gives a stronger flavour to the sweet potato mash, but if you brown it in the butter, it will not be too overwhelming.
