Ingredients

1/2 sweet potatoes, peeled (cut into 2-inch chunks)

1 unsalted butter

2 maple syrup

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 olive oil

2 onions, chopped

1 large clove garlic, finely chopped

8 (cut into 1/2-inch slices1)

1 frozen petit peas

1 frozen corn kernels

2/3 heavy cream

1/2 curry powder

hot sauce, to taste

Directions

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water. Drain, return to the pan and stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and syrup and mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°
  3. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients.
  4. Transfer sausage mixture to a buttered deep pie dish. Spoon mashed sweet potatoes over the sausage mixture, using a spoon to smooth the top. Bake until heated through and potatoes begin to brown around edges, about 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
