For this recipe, you’ll need:
Microwave the Side Delights® Steamables Petite Sweet Potatoes in their bag according to the package directions.
Carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot. Cut the bag open and transfer the sweet potatoes to a cutting board.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced sweet onion, maple sugar or syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Sauté the onion mixture for approximately 2–3 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn golden brown.
If the pan becomes dry, add a small amount of hot water as needed. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle safely, carefully remove the skins and place the flesh in a large serving bowl.
Mash the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency, whether smooth and creamy or slightly chunky.
Gently fold the maple onion mixture into the mashed sweet potatoes until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust the salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve the maple mashed sweet potatoes warm alongside your favorite main dish.
Recipe Tip: For a little extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the onion mixture. The subtle spice pairs well with the natural sweetness of the potatoes and maple. For a fresh taste and look, garnish with parsley.
