Instructions
- Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a small knife or tines of a fork. Line a baking sheet with foil and bake at 425 F degrees for 45-50 minutes.
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise, then scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Add butter and mash with a potato masher or hand mixer. Mix in half and half a few tablespoons at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in salt and pepper.
Notes
- Alternately, sweet potatoes can be baked in the air fryer or boiled.
- To boil, slice raw sweet potatoes into 2" pieces. Bring a large, salted pot of water to a boil, then add potatoes. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain in a colander, then add back to the hot pot to remove any excess liquid.
- Add sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl, then proceed with step 3.
