MISO BUTTER MASHED SWEET POTATOES
I read an article awhile ago in the Huffington Post about the difference between red, white, and yellow miso and how to use them in different dishes. Before I read this I always thought Miso was only used in Miso Soup. After I read that article I was inspired to start cooking more with miso whenever the opportunity presents it self.
I have really been wanting to change up typical meals my family eats during Christmas because its usually the same as Thanksgiving. As much as I love mashed potatoes, they were the first on my mind that I had to switch up, and I made the right choice! This miso butter is like crack, it is so delicious and gives the sweet potatoes an umami flavor.
