The BCP 9×13 Mashed Cauliflower has been a favorite in our kitchen for years. The 9×13 method takes a bit of time, but the result is always worth it—a rich, flavorful, low-calorie side dish with zero hassle. Just pop it in the oven and let it do its thing. No extra work, just deliciousness.

We loved this technique so much that we decided to try it with sweet potatoes. The best part? No pot, no boiling water—just perfectly roasted, naturally sweet potatoes with minimal effort. Sometimes, the simplest methods lead to the most satisfying results.

    The same thing works with regular potatoes! Cut peeled potatoes small, add lots of oil, salt, and garlic. Cover and bake for a long time. Mash and put back in for a bit. Recipe from kosher.com

    Can I make this in advance and freeze? We accidentally peeled wayyyy too many sweet potatoes, and my s. p. kugels are done. Looking for other stuff I can make ahead with the rest.
