Saigon Maple Mashed Yams
Ingredients
- 6 large red garnet yams
- 1/2 can full fat coconut milk (or more if you want it really creamy)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (more or less to taste)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon saigon cinnamon (more or less to taste)
- sea salt, a good pinch
Makes about 12 servings
- Peel, chop, and boil yams until soft.
- Strain yams.
- Roughly mash yams with a potato masher.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
Notes
- I often times don’t measure anything when I’m making these yams. You can very easily eye everything up, just as you would your own mashed potatoes. Just use the ingredients as a base and go from there!
- You may want to preheat your coconut milk to help the dish stay hot.
- Saigon cinnamon is different from traditional “cinnamon”. There is a huge taste difference! You should be able to find it in most grocery stores. The taste reminds me of red cinnamon candy hearts.
