Categories: Party Food Recipes, Party Venue

After you’re done with spring cleaning, and the backyard is finally “party-friendly”, it’s time for that spring party that you’ve been raring to throw since winter. Of course, spring season may be different for you, if you live somewhere colder or warmer, but the most basic elements of spring to summer parties are the same…

Backyard barbecue, outdoor games, great company and comfortable seating.

Spring to summer parties are great for kids too. Instead or roasting their marshmallows indoors, they can DIY on a grill or outdoor fireplaces. You can prepare for the guests who are likely to get lured by the promise of good roasts and cold beer.

If you want something more than the usual grilled meat or vegetables, you can prepare this recipe for sharing.

Barbecue-Friendly Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 cups of water
5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon of nutmeg

Cook it!

  • Pour the water into the pressure cooker.
  • Add the trivet and layer the sweet potatoes onto the trivet.
  • Bring to high pressure quickly and cook 8 minutes.
  • Quickly reduce the pressure under cold water and remove the potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes into a serving bowl and mash well.
  • Pour the milk and vinegar into the potatoes and stir to combine.
  • Season the potatoes with the cinnamon and nutmeg before serving.

If your family and friends love mashed potatoes would like to try something a little sweeter, with a festive flair, this sweet potato recipe will do the trick.

When adding the water, be sure to check the manufactures direction for your brand and size of pressure cooker. It may require a little less water than what the recipe calls for.
