Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 ½ pounds sweet potato medium
  • 5 lices Bacon chopped
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons sage leaves chopped fresh
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Place potatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool before peeling.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic and sage, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; keep warm.
  5. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth. Stir in maple syrup and 6 tablespoons reserved butter mixture; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Serve immediately with remaining butter mixture and bacon.
