Mashed roasted sweet potatoes with smoked paprika
Roast


Roasting
The love of some foods must be hereditary. While my dad likes them just fine my sweet potato fixation clearly comes form my mother's side. I don’t know a single one of my numerous southern aunts, uncles, cousins, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and kissing that would turn away a sweet potato. Any sweet potato. - Summer of Eggplant <br /> <br />While reading Gourmet a few years ago I came across a recipe for sweet potatoes with smoked paprika. And if I didn’t say it out loud I certainly thought to myself ‘Eureka! That’s brilliant!’, or something like that. I use more paprika (and butter and cream) than the original recipe because I’m about as crazy for that stuff as much as the potatoes. I also dust the top with turbinado sugar, get out the kitchen torch and fire it up to create a slightly sweet crunch against the backdrop of the creamy smoky potatoes.
