Author Notes

This simple side dish is composed of just a small handful of ingredients, but still manages to pack a very big umami punch. Top your mash with a poached egg for extra unctuousness. —Emily K. @ Leaf Parade

Directions

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes.
Put the cubed sweet potatoes in a big pot of salted water and put over a hot burner and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook until the sweet potatoes are soft (10-15 minutes). Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the miso paste, coconut butter, and coconut milk to the pot, and combine all ingredients together with a potato masher.
