Onion and Sage Mashed Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and diced
  • 4 tbsp Greek Sage Olive Oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 4-5 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
  • Coarse sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  1. Place diced potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain immediately.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and brown sugar; stir occasionally, until the onions caramelize and turn a deep golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add sliced sage leaves and saute until lightly crisp. Remove from heat.
  4. Using a hand-held potato masher (or an electric mixer) mash potatoes to desired consistency. Add the onions and sage to the potatoes. Add salt and ground pepper. Stir until well blended.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
