Equipment

Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- 500 g sweet potatoes (skin removed, sliced big)
- 150 g white cheese (I used Greek Feta cheese)
- 1 tsp salt (I used white mountain salt)
- 1 tsp thyme (dried)
Guacamole Recipe
- 1 medium avocado (skin and seed removed)
- 1/2 spring onion (sliced small)
- 5 slices leeks (chopped small)
- 4-5 slices cucumber (cut in 4)
- 1/4 lime (juice only)
- 1/2 tsp salt (I used white mountain salt)
Instructions
Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes, and add them into a medium pot.
- Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook for a few minutes until the sweet potatoes become soft enough, making sure they still keep their shape (slices). You don’t want to overcook the sweet potatoes, transforming them into a puree.
- Once done, remove the water and transfer the potatoes to a plate to cool down for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle salt and thyme over them, and use a fork to combine the spices with the sweet potatoes.
Guacamole Recipe
- Add sliced avocado, spring onion, leeks, cucumber, salt and lime juice to a medium sized bowl.
- Using a fork, combine everything together into a paste. Don’t worry if it take 1 minute or 5 minutes to combine everything. Work on it until it looks like a paste (using a creamy avocado is advised).
- Note: You can also use a blender or anything similar to make the guacamole paste.
- Serve with the sweet potatoes above, or alongside your favorite salad or maybe enjoy with your favorite kind of healthy bread.
Putting it Together
- This recipe is for 2 servings, but we’ll prepare only one serving here.
- In a medium sized bowl (or plate) add half of the sweet potatoes on one side. Add half of the above guacamole on the other side of the plate (or bowl).
- Sprinkle white cheese on top of the bowl (use as much or as less as needed).
- That was it! Enjoy and serve with love and gratitude.
Notes
The secret to making the perfect guacamole is to use a soft avocado. Plus, using leeks or onion is advised to mask the fatty taste of the avocado, as well as using enough salt.
Salt is a key ingredient on this dish, so use as much or as less as you feel like - The sweet potatoes need more salt compared to regular potatoes, since they’re sweet. Feta cheese comes with its own salt which gives it its unique taste, plus the guacamole recipe needs its own salt to balance the fatty taste of the avocado.
