When you're faced with a long holiday dinner to-do list, the best solution is to save time and prepare some dishes in advance. For example, this holiday sweet potato mash can be made almost entirely in advance and frozen. Just before serving, all you have to do is reheat it and add a little finishing touch: sprinkle with chopped nuts and fresh green onions.

Ingredients:

• 1.3 kg sweet potatoes, washed with a brush
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• A large pinch of ground allspice
• A large pinch of cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet until soft and tender, about 1 hour. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove the skins with paper towels or a kitchen towel.
Step 2
• In a food processor, combine the sweet potato, butter, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, cinnamon, allspice, and cayenne pepper and process until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight microwave-safe container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
Step 3
• Before serving, reheat the sweet potato puree in the microwave, stirring frequently. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped pecans and green onions.
  
  Note
  
  The sweet potato puree can be served immediately without freezing. Transfer it from the food processor to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped pecans and green onions.
