Creamy, smooth mash potatoes on a cold winters day in the best comfort food. To be honest I like to enjoy a wide of variety of cook potatoes but I think mash is up there with chips. I would also like to thank whoever it was who introduced sweet potato to the UK.
It’s a God send to have alternatives to white potato. Plus it makes a delicious change and adding the spices also helped to add a huge amount of flavour to this dish. For me it made everything else on the plate even tastier. I hope it does the same for you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Harissa Spiced Sweet Mash Potatoes was a delicious dish that I enjoyed. It was very easy to prepare and cook. The recipe was quite time consuming too. It would make a great lunch or even a really good dinner too. You could also eat the leftovers the next day. Plus you can freeze it as well but personally I prefer these mash potatoes fresh. However you decide to eat this dinner, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
