Sweet Mash with Rosemary

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (2 or 3 shallots)

3 teaspoons brown sugar

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Warm 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over low heat. Add shallots and cook 5 minutes, stirring. Sprinkle with sugar and sweat about 20 minutes. Set aside. In another skillet, place sweet potatoes and enough water to cover. Simmer about 8 minutes or until tender. Move potatoes to large bowl and beat with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in rosemary, salt and pepper. Top with shallots and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Makes about 6 servings.
