Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and roughly chop the sweet potatoes into equally sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the sweet potatoes.
Use a potato masher or an electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil to create the topping.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the mashed sweet potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, and enjoy!
