Cooking Directions

  1. 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.)
  2. 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.

    Was in Hawaii last year and had awesome food; however nothing like this ...... a great dish and healthy too....so why not substitute regular skim milk if you want it more often Maryanne in MA

  • The ginger made the dish

    The 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!

    We 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

  • Short cut

    Instead of waiting for the sweet potatoes to bake, try pealing them first, then cutting them in 1/2 inch thick slices and steaming them. It\'s quick and easy!

  • Tasty!

    I 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!
