Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup optional chopped pecans for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Poke a few holes in each sweet potato using a fork to allow steam to escape.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a knife can be easily inserted into the center.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes using your hands or a knife. It should easily come off once they are cool enough to handle.
Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add the butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the bowl.
Use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to whip the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher for a more rustic texture.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if necessary by adding additional maple syrup or salt.
Transfer the whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans for added crunch and garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
