Mashing potatoes and other vegetables is a real Dutch Tradition. It is not only easy to make, but *to me* also great comfort food. This sweet potato mash is one of my new favorites!
This mash is made with a real twist: Miso! Miso is a Japanese paste, made of fermented soy beans. For this recipe I used a red miso, but you can use any type of miso you like. Preferring to add something else than miso? Replace the miso with some salt, stock cubes or Dutch ‘Maggi’.
