Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes about 6 potatoes
- 4 teaspoons salt divided
- ½ cup half-and-half
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder (reduce to 1/4 teaspoon if sensitive to spice; increase to 3/4 to 1 teaspoon for more of a kick)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅓ cup whole milk plain greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter diced
- chopped fresh thyme
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large saucepan and cover with cool water so that the water covers the potatoes by 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Continue simmering, adjusting the heat as needed, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add the half and half and chipotle chile powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining 3 teaspoons salt.
- Mash to your desired consistency.
- Immediately add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and butter. Stir until evenly combined. Taste and adjust spices and salt as desired.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with thyme. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate sweet potatoes in an airtight storage container for up to 4 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-low heat, in a casserole dish in the oven at 350 degrees F, or in the microwave.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- TO MAKE AHEAD: Up to 2 days in advance, peel, cut, and boil the sweet potatoes. Refrigerate them in an airtight storage container until you're ready to finish the recipe.
- For easy mashed sweet potatoes any night of the week, make a big batch and freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray. Transfer the frozen sweet potato cubes to a freezer-safe ziptop bag. Grab sweet potato cubes as desired and cook directly from frozen.
