2. Cooking Directions
- Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 10 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
- When cool enough to handle, peel off and discard skin. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a medium microwaveable bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher. Add coconut milk, ginger and salt; stir well. Reheat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
This three-ingredient dish, known as piele in Hawaii, is fabulously simple. Coconut milk--an occasional indulgence because of the saturated fat--contributes rich flavor.
Notes:
To Make Ahead
Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven just before serving.

The ginger made the dish
Rhanda5 - February 26, 2007 03:32:18 PM PSTThe hint of ginger gave this dish a nice tickle to the palate. I didn't notice the difference the coconut milk made. I liked this dish overall but would probably use a little more ginger next time as well as some seasoning to give it a little more flavor.

Really easy, great tasting!
janibanis06 - December 27, 2007 09:32:03 AM PSTWe tried this recipe out and accompanied it by Korean BBQ..awesome! The BBQ sauce complemented the taste of sweet potato so well, without making it too sweet or too pasty. Only modifications that I made were to add a pat of butter

Tasty!
mandalee65 - July 21, 2008 11:51:04 AM PSTI make a similar version - instead of mashing the potatoes, I just bake them and mush the ingredients. I also add a bit of toasted coconut for extra flavor. It's almost like dessert!

Are you kidding?
darnell_ford_2007 - May 12, 2008 01:00:36 PM PSTLove this dish because it was quick to make but my family was not pleased with it. Had to add extra ingredients to make this dish taste better.
