Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover them 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 simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes with the heat turned off to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, chipotle chili powder, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and maple syrup to the pot with the sweet potatoes.
Using a hand mixer or a potato masher, whip the sweet potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more chili powder or salt if desired.
Serve the spicy whipped sweet potatoes warm as a side dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or fresh herbs, if desired.
