Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Marsala wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks about 2 inches in size.
Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and Marsala wine, and heat gently until warm (do not let it boil).
Pour the butter, cream, and Marsala mixture over the sweet potatoes in the pot. Add the teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, and cinnamon.
Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
