Main Ingredients- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 handful of sliced almonds (approx. 10g)
- 1 handful of raisins (approx. 10g)
- 100ml milk (or adjust to your preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the stars of your sweet potato salad: the sweet potatoes, sliced almonds for a nutty crunch, and raisins for sweetness. Lightly rinse the raisins under running water and pat them dry.
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm, as larger pieces will take longer to cook. Place the prepared sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and add just enough water to barely cover the bottom. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave for about 7-10 minutes (adjust time based on sweet potato size) until tender. You can check for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should go through easily.
Step 3
Carefully remove the hot sweet potatoes from the microwave and drain any excess water. It’s best to mash them while they are still warm for a smoother texture. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork or a potato masher until there are no lumps. Mashing while warm also contributes to a better final texture.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk to the mashed sweet potatoes to achieve a creamy consistency. Start with about 50ml and mix well, then add more milk little by little until you reach your desired texture. Stir with a spatula or spoon to create a smooth and creamy sweet potato salad base. For an even richer flavor, consider adding a small amount of plain yogurt or mayonnaise at this stage.
Step 5
Now, add the prepared sliced almonds and raisins to the mashed sweet potato mixture and gently fold them in. Mix carefully to avoid crushing the raisins. The nutty almonds and sweet raisins will beautifully complement the sweet potato.
Step 6
Your delicious sweet potato salad is ready! For an attractive presentation, use an ice cream scoop or a round spoon to shape the salad into portions and place them neatly on a plate. You can also sprinkle a few extra sliced almonds on top for garnish.
Step 7
This sweet potato salad is also fantastic as a sandwich filling. Simply slice open soft dinner rolls or bread slices and generously fill them with the sweet potato salad. It makes for a wonderful kid’s snack or a simple breakfast option. You can add lettuce or mixed greens for extra freshness if desired.
