Whipped Sweet Potato questions

[donleyk]

DH wants whipped butternut squash for Easter. I found this recipe that got good reviews. My questions are, do you think the squash sub will work with the mustard and honey and how do you think roasted would be instead of boiled? TIA

Honey Mustard-Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Serve this simple, creamy dish as a side to chicken or pork.
This recipe goes with Tarragon Chicken With Roasted Vegetables


1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup sliced onion
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup low-salt chicken broth

Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sweet potatoes; sauté 5 minutes. Add mustard and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are very tender.

Place sweet potato mixture in a food processor; process until smooth.

I rarely boil my sweet potatos, usually I roast them. I think that would work fine in this recipe. I really think they taste better when roasted! I also think the squash would work as well.

Thanks Sherry. I couldn't see why not but wanted to check for any experiences or suggestions. And I agree about the roasting.
