Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat and let the sweet potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the heavy cream, honey, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Warm gently for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.
Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or potato masher, whip the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Gradually stir in the warm butter and honey mustard mixture, ensuring everything is fully incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
