1
The night before: Wash and boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes until soft (use a fork to test).
2
Drain and cool in cold water only so that they are cool enough to be held; they should now easily be peeled with a knife.
3
Mash them while hot and refrigerate.
4
Meanwhile, defrost the ground beef over night.
5
(I also defrost our blanched mushrooms).
6
The next day: Brown the defrosted ground beef.
7
Add chopped onions, peeled and diced tomato along with the sugar, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic; stir on low heat.
8
When onions are browned and the mushrooms tender, stir in tomato paste and water.
9
Boil for a few minutes; add parsley, salt and pepper and taste.
10
Meanwhile, add butter, milk, salt and pepper to the puree, mix thoroughly and heat up in the microwave.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
