VITACLAY PALEO SLOW COOKER SWEET POTATO MASH

Recipe and Image Courtesy of “Skinny Ms” converted to VitaClay version for VM7900, VF7700 or VM7800 series.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
• 2 cup apple juice, no sugar added, 100% juice
• 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp. allspice
• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• AFTER COOKING, ADD:
• Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
• Apple juice (see instructions)
• Pecans, for topping (optional)
• Honey or maple syrup to taste (optional for those who like a sweeter version)

Instructions:

Prepare your sweet potatoes and place in VitaClay slow cooker. Add 1 1/2 cup of the apple juice (NOT the full cup) and your spices.

Set on “Stew” or “Fast” for 30-40 minutes, until potatoes are tender. When potatoes are fully cooked through, using a hand blender, blend the sweet potatoes inside your vitaclay slow cooker insert, adding the rest of 1/2 cup of juice. Season with more cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.

Top with pecans and enjoy.

Note: While this dish is yummy without the pecans, the pecans truly add the final touch. Unless you have a nut allergy, we highly recommend the pecans. Do not be afraid of the fat in pecans. It is healthy fat and perfectly acceptable for Skinny eating.
