Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cups pecans
- 0.5 cups dark brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized chunks for boiling.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, heavy cream, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt.
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a greased 9x13 baking dish and smooth out the top.
In a medium bowl, combine chopped pecans, dark brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened), and all-purpose flour. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the praline topping evenly over the mashed sweet potatoes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Praline Mashed Sweet Potatoes!
