Tip/s:

• Use sweet potatoes as a great source of vitamin A and fiber.
• For a rustic twist, make mashed potatoes with the skins on, just make sure to scrub them really well.
• For GARLIC MASHED POTATOES, add 4 cloves of garlic while boiling the potatoes, then mash them together. Another way is to add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder in the mixture.
• For TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, simply add 1 tsp of truffle oil in the mixture.
