Preparation – 15 minutes

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces. This does not have to be very precise, but make sure that they are about the same size so that they take the same time to cook.

Fill a medium saucepan with water, the stock cubes and the sweet potato chunks, then bring to a boil.

Peel the shallots and cut them into thin half moons. Wash the sage and finely chop a small handful of it.

Finishing the sweet potato mash – 30 minutes

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and cook the sweet potatoes until they have softened. This will take around 15 minutes, but the exact cooking time will depend on the size of the sweet potato pieces.

Heat a little olive oil in a small frying pan and sauté the shallots for a few minutes until they have softened.

Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with a potato masher. Stir in the fried shallots, along with the finely chopped sage, and season with salt and pepper.

Serve with the rest of the fresh sage, if desired, enjoy!
