Mashed potatoes are indisputably a crowd favorite side dish, which makes it a must when it comes to preparing a spread for the holidays, barbecues or even potluck sessions. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there’s no other perfect time to divulge this simple recipe!

I am absolutely in love with how creamy the sweet mashed potatoes are, and fusing the miso butter together adds a more earthy flavor. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory.

MISO BUTTER

The spotlight for today is on miso paste, a traditional Japanese condiment made from fermented soybean. It adds on that delicious umami flavor which complements the sweet potatoes flawlessly. There are a few different types of miso, ranging from ones that has lighter taste to those that are more pungent due to longer fermentation. There are 3 types of miso. For this recipe, I used red miso paste which has the strongest and most assertive fermented flavor among all 3. If you are not used to taste, you can try the yellow which is mild though still has the fermented taste. Or you can use white miso (aka shiro miso) that’s light and sweet.

Miso butter is basically mixing up miso paste together with softened butter. It’s also phenomenal when paired with garlic (try this Miso Garlic Butter Salmon!).

NOTES FOR MISO BUTTER SWEET POTATO MASH

  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces before boiling – The sweet potatoes will cook easier and faster.
  • Different texture – Depending on what you use to mash the potatoes, the texture will be different. A potato masher will give you chunkier texture. If you’d like for it to be silky smooth, you can use a blender.
  • Miso paste is quite salty, so I don’t season with any additional salt.
  • I used red miso paste. Use either white miso or yellow miso.
  • Making ahead and storage – I recommend making them only up to 1 day ahead. Store them in an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Notes

*Make extra miso butter to serve with the sweet potato mash for those who would like extra umami flavor. The ratio of butter to miso paste should be 2:1.

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
