Ingredients
  

For the potatoes

  • 4 Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 tsp ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Mace (or Nutmeg if not on AIP)
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Honey (or Maple syrup)

For the topping

  • 3/4 cup sliced Tigernuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Poke several holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork or knife and then place in the oven for 1 hour. Once done, let cool until you’re able to handle them, remove the skins and put the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a bowl.
  • Add the other ingredients for the potatoes and then use a hand mixer or potato masher to mix them until smooth. Scoop into a baking dish.
  • Mix the toppings ingredients in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the sweet potato mash. (If making ahead of time,stop at this point and put in the fridge until close to serving.)
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Notes

This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and then just reheat for dinner. You can even make homemade AIP marshmallows to go on top as well – super yum!
