Author Notes
One night I made my special turkey loaf and realized I had forgotten to buy ingredients for a side dish. In a panic, I checked the fridge; all I had were yams, sour cream, butter and a jar of jalapeños. I ended up mixed them together and now we can't have one without the other. —MariGarrett
Ingredients
-
2 pounds
garnet yams, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
-
1 cup
low fat sour cream
-
4 tablespoons
salted butter
-
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
-
1/2 tablespoon
ground ginger
-
1 1/2 cups
chopped jarred jalapeños (measure after chopping)
Directions
-
Boil yams until tender and can be pierced easily with a fork, about 15 minutes (cooking times may vary).
-
While yams are boiling, place the sour cream, garlic powder, ginger powder and the jalapeños in a large mixing bowl, and stir until well mixed.
-
Add drained yams to the sour cream mixture, add butter and either mash manually with a potato masher or use a hand mixer, until the yam mixture is mashed to your desired consistency. Enjoy!
