BALSAMIC MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Not exactly the right season for this but if you like sweet potatoes this is really good.

3 pounds sweet potatoes (I use garnet yams)
2 T good quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream.

Pre-heat oven to 425.

Push fork into sweet potatoes in several places and put on a baking sheet in middle of oven. Bake until very tender about 1-1/4 hours depending on size. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins and discard. In a food processor blend potatoes with vinegar and 1/4 t cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in sour cream until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 t cinnamon.

Serves 6

What a coincidence. I just harvested my sweet potatoes yesterday. I'm going to try it.

Oh I have become a balsamic vinegar junkie! We are having leftover chicken that was marinated in balsamic vinegar, basil, garlic, onion and olive oil and then charcoal grilled! Wish I had a sweet potato.

Again, thank you for sharing, DiAnne!

I love sweet potatoes and I LOVE balsamic! Thanks DiAnne!

I wonder if I can do these in that Vitamix my DH just bought? Need to find something to do in that $$ thing he ordered! LOL
