Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes up to 2 lbs/ (about 4 sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 1” pieces
- 3 tbsp salted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- butter for serving
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with sweet potatoes and water about an inch higher than potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Completely drain potatoes and place back into the pot.
- Using a hand mixer (or a hand masher), blend potatoes until mostly smooth.
- Next add butter, sugar, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until well combined and potatoes are completely smooth then serve with butter.
Notes
To reheat, I would suggest simply using a microwave. A couple minutes on high-heat will keep your mash intact.
If you don’t have a microwave the stovetop will work just fine. Use a non-stick sauce pan and add a bit of milk or butter. Give it a stir often to be sure the potatoes won’t stick to the bottom and burn.
