And, to get your started off right, I’ve got a super simple recipe making great use of this dream oil.
Coconut Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients: (makes 2 to 4 servings)
2 medium sweet potatoes (cooked)
1 generous tablespoon coconut oil
1 dash cinnamon
a handful of shredded coconut
1 tsp light brown sugar (or agave nectar)
Directions: This one’s a no-brainer. Just the way I like it.
Cook sweet potatoes (I usually do this step in the microwave) and scrape the insides into in a mixing bowl. Do this while the potatoes are still hot.
Add the coconut oil, cinnamon, sugar, and a bit of the shredded coconut. Mix well.
Top with a bit more coconut garnish and serve. 
This is a simple, satisfying dish that can be made any night of the week. It’s also one of my favorite ways to use coconut oil!

This looks so good! I think it’s time I get to dig into coconut more.
I love coconut oil, coconut butter, coconut flakes.
Love sweet potatoes too.
Very nice site..I noticed a comment you left on another site about liking THe Hunger Games…me too…love books.
Thank you! I too am a huge book lover!
Mmmm… sweet potatoes can be prepared with just about anything and I would love them. But coconut and coconut oil? That’s over the top! I love it.
Over the top, indeed!
Those sweet potatoes look amazing! I just made baked sweet potato fries for the first time and just can’t get enough of them. Yum!
Delicious sweet potatoes! I made some with orange juice the other day and loved them. I love how versatile they are.
Sounds interesting! How did you do it? I’m curious!
Mmm.. baked sweet potatoes are my go-to pre-race dinner. I always have it with almond butter and maple syrup, but I’ll definitely give this recipe a go next time. Any excuse to eat more coconut
Ooh, love the almond butter idea!
I adore sweet potato and just discovered your site. It’s great! The idea of doing a mash with them and coconut is just brilliant. Sounds fabulous.
Thank you, Jill! Welcome to Keep It Simple Foods!
Sweet potato is said to be a superfood. They’re high in fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. I’ve been trying to find new ways to eat sweet potatoes, and this recipe came at the right time!
I agree with the superfood comment. Love me some sweet taters. Hope you like the recipe!
