Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Begin by washing your sweet potatoes.
- Peel them, then chop into cubes.
- Set a pot of water to boil, toss in a pinch of salt, and add the sweet potato cubes.
- Boil for about 15-20 minutes until they’re fork-tender.
Sautee the Fillings:
- In a skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat.
- Throw in the chopped onions, letting them sizzle until translucent.
- Add minced garlic and saute for another minute.
- Next, add your choice of ground meat.
- Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.
- Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Now, stir in the mixed vegetables and pour in the broth.
- Let this simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens a bit.
Mash the Sweet Potatoes:
- Once your sweet potatoes are soft, drain the water.
- Mash them up in a large bowl.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt to make the mash creamier.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Layer Up:
- In a baking dish, spread out the meat and veggie mixture.
- Top it with an even layer of the mashed sweet potato.
- For a golden touch, you can brush the top with a beaten egg.
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the baking dish inside for about 20-25 minutes.
- The top should be slightly golden and the sides bubbly.
Notes
You can switch the meat according to your preference. Chicken or lamb could work too!
Spice it up a bit! Add some red pepper flakes if you’re looking for some kick.
For a creamier texture, mix some parmesan cheese with the mashed sweet potatoes.
