INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch dried thyme
  • 1 cup cashew halves

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake sweet potatoes until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove potatoes, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Then peel, and place in a large bowl. With a large fork or potato masher, mash potatoes for 15 to 20 seconds (they do not need to be mashed smooth).
  2. Spoon the potatoes into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in butter, water, tomato sauce, and half-and-half. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in cashews, and mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until cashews are soft, about 50 to 60 minutes.
