Cooking Instructions
- 1
Scrub the sweet potatoes, cut in half and place in a large pot of boiling salted water, until fork tender, about 40-50 minutes. Drain, and allow to slightly cool, in order to peel.
- 2
While potatoes are boiling, heat a cup of water in a small sauce pan and add the apples. Lightly boil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3
Drain the water and add 3 tablespoons of butter, half the brown sugar, and sauté the apples for 5 minutes. Add a dash of cinnamon.
- 4
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- 5
Peel the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Mash them using a potato masher. Add the apples and continue to mash.
- 6
Add the rest of the butter, heated milk, and brandy (optional) to the bowl. Blend well with a mixer. While mixing, add the sugar and a dash of cinnamon and all-spice.
- 7
Scoop this mixture into a well-buttered casserole dish, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow this to cool for a few minutes. Top with crushed walnuts or slivered almonds.

I had a lot of apples left over from apple picking and thought I'd try to incorporate them into my meals to finish them off. I knew that adding rosemary and thyme to sweet potatoes would enhance their flavor. But the addition of bright punchy apples, with cinnamon and fresh ginger, added a whole new level of sweetness to an autumn favorite. And the best part is that there's no need to add sugar or syrup to get that amazing sweet potato holiday flavor.

Mashed Sweet Potato Cakes Mashed Sweet Potato Cakes
It's not clear whether it is called "tsukiage" because you "tsuki" (pound) and "ageru" (deep fry) the boiled potato, or because it's round and yellow like the moon.Even in Nagasaki, only people from my hometown make these.They're so good that I posted the recipe to spread the word.But this is my version, perhaps there's a proper recipe somewhere.You can microwave the sweet potatoes. But they will come out dry, so adding a little milk helps!Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the potatoes. I like them very sweet.The more flour you use, the more glutinous they will be. Recipe by Poyopoyon
