Ingredients
- 3 lbs medium sweet potatoes 4-5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces
- ½ cup regular milk or non-dairy milk plus more as needed
- 3 Tablespoons butter vegan butter works too, plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt plus more to taste (I did 1 ½ tsp salt)
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 1-2 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey optional
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Place chopped sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and heat until water is boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain sweet potatoes and add back to pot or to a large mixing bowl.
- Add milk, butter and salt to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher until you reach your desired texture, adding more milk if needed. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender or hand mixer.
- Stir in maple syrup and cinnamon if using.
- Taste and season with additional salt and freshly cracked pepper. Serve warm with butter.
Notes
- Storing: If you have leftovers you can store the mashed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. They reheat beautifully. Just warm them up in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk to bring back that creamy texture.
