🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense.

Cut 3.75 lbs of yukon gold potatoes into large chunks.

Place the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add garlic and a little salt.

Bring the pot to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender.

Drain the potatoes and let them sit for 4-5 minutes to remove excess water.

Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth.

Add mozzarella cheese, gruyere cheese, and parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes.

Incorporate 6 oz of butter into the mixture until melted.

Add 3 eggs and mix quickly to avoid scrambling them.

Season with black pepper and add diced ham, mixing well.

Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag for easier shaping.
