In this recipe, sweet potatoes are enriched with browned butter, then are roughly mashed. We add spice with harissa, but balance it with cooling yogurt. A sprinkle of chopped pistachios adds contrasting color and texture. Serve as a side to roasted or grilled chicken, pork or lamb.

Easy and delicious!
Braising the sweet potatoes in broth and butter made them so delicious and pretty easy since you can chop fairly large pieces of sweet potatoes! The toppings were wonderful yet not necessary if you're in a rush. It's good even without those.

The mashed sweet potatoes with lemon juice were delicious! What a wonderful twist on a familiar taste. Adding harissa, yogurt, and pistachios changed the final product, but did not, in our opinion, improve it. Next time I will stop after I add the lemon juice, mash them, and season with salt & pepper.
