About this recipe
Mashed potatoes are a popular dish during Thanksgiving and Christmas, but in my household, we enjoy it all year round. We love it so much that I even turn the leftovers into delicious taquitos or tostadas.
How to make sweet potato and potato mash?
- It’s a super simple mash of potato and sweet potato.
- The potatoes and sweet potatoes (affiliate link) are cut into pieces and boiled in a pot with salted water over medium heat. When they’re soft, drain them, but don’t throw away the water; you can use it to make the mash smoother.
- In the end, I finish it with freshly ground black pepper, salt, and butter (I use vegan butter). If you can’t find vegan butter, you can finish it with olive oil.
- Lastly, I drizzle it with chipotle vegan cheese.
- And if you want a little more flavor, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top. This vegan sweet potato mash also goes well with chopped parsley or chives on top.
How to make Chipotle vegan queso?
This vegan Chipotle cheese is delicious, simple to make, and perfect for vegans. Just blend:
- 1 cup of raw, unsalted cashews (affiliate link)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
You can pair it with any dish, not just this potato and sweet potato mash.
Tips for the best sweet potato- potato mash
- You can make this potato mash with vegan cheese with or without sweet potato. Either way, it tastes super delicious.
- In Mexico, we call it “camote,” but I know that in other parts of Latin America, it’s called “batata.”
- If you have leftovers, you can transform them into soup or use them as a base for some tostadas.
- Sometimes, people ask me, “Which is healthier, sweet potato or potato?” Honestly, I think each has its own nutritional benefits. Both have vitamins and minerals, but I do believe the definite winner is sweet potato.
- This mashed potato tastes better when it’s freshly made; it can be stored perfectly in the fridge, but it doesn’t freeze well.
- The vegan chipotle cheese lasts a long time in the fridge and goes great with everything. With chips, with tacos, with EVERYTHING.
