Sweet Potato and Swede Mash
We all love sweet potatoes, their wonderful flavour and creamy texture pair well with almost anything. Swede is another matter. However, cooking transforms swede and combining it with sweet potatoes in a creamy mash truly makes swede shine.
Why eat it you might ask? Well, swede is incredibly nutritious and very low in calories. It is however high in antioxidants, vitamins A and C and a number of minerals.
