Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 2 inches in size.
Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the pot with the sweet potatoes.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use the hand mixer on a low setting.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, cinnamon, or maple syrup to suit your preference.
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
