Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large (about 2 lbs total) sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes or until they are very soft and easily pierced with a knife.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, dry sherry, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and kosher salt to the sweet potato flesh.
Using a hand mixer or potato masher, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
