Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sherry
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Peel the skins off the roasted sweet potatoes and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, ground nutmeg, and sherry to the bowl with the sweet potato flesh.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, puree the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the puree to a serving dish and serve warm as a delicious side to your meal.
