Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yams
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the yams and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the yam cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the yams.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the yams simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the yams in a colander and return them to the pot over low heat. Allow them to steam dry for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.
Add the unsalted butter to the pot with the yams, and use a potato masher to begin mashing the yams until they reach your desired consistency.
Pour in the heavy cream gradually, continuing to mash and stir until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Season the mashed yams with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed yams to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately while hot as a delicious sugar-free side dish.
