Cranberry Sweet Potato Mash

Submitted by: Emily Amanatullah

The tannins in the tea and the subtle tartness of the cranberry help balance the flavor of the sweet potatoes in this lovely side dish. It will be the perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving table, or dinner any other night of the year!

Prep Time: Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes
Serving Size: 4

Ingredients

3 medium sized sweet potatoes, peeled
4 Tbsp Cranberry tea
1 pat of butter
1 splash of milk
1 Tbsp fresh orange zest
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions
Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces (for quicker cooking). Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Heat pot to a boil. Add tea to water when it begins to boil and allow potatoes to cook until fork tender (approximately 30 min).

Remove from stove and drain potatoes (reserving a few tablespoons of the boiling liquid for later). Add in butter and milk and mash potatoes to the desired consistency. Add in boiling liquid as desired if mash seems too dry. When all mashed, stir in zest and dried cranberries. Serve and enjoy!
