Add a little flare to sweet potato with a big kick of spice! This Spicy Cajun Sweet Potato Mash will do the trick for enhancing the usual baked sweet potato.

If you love a lot of spice, feel free to add a pinch more of paprika and cayenne.

This mash does not require butter or milk, as the sweet potato is creamy enough and when steamed it softens to the right texture for easy mashing. Give it a go this week with your main meal!
