How to make sweet potato puffs:

Start by mashing your potatoes. Add chopped potatoes to a large stock pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 15-20 minutes or until they’re fork tender.

Next, preheat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle of oven. Lightly spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Stir together all of the ingredients and fill each muffin cup all the way full with the mashed sweet potatoes mixture.

Sprinkle the tops with the parmesan cheese then bake about 20 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon diced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Sour cream or plain greek yogurt for serving optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  • If you haven’t mashed sweet potatoes yet, add cubed sweet potatoes to a large stock pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and mash with a masher, fork or food processor.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle of oven. Lightly spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

I'm Molly! I'm convinced love is the answer, that you can enjoy veggies and butter equally and dessert (usually a cookie) can change the trajectory of someone's day. I believe in eating to feel good and love health/fitness. My favorite days are pool days and if I could be any emoji it would be this 🤗. My goal is to create a space that encourages self-love and helps you define "healthy" on your own terms. Thanks for joining me in my journey!
