Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Report
Made with 7 ingredients, this mashed sweet potato recipe is a simple, delicious holiday side dish! I boil the sweet potatoes until tender, then mash them with butter, milk, and a little maple syrup to create a creamy, flavorful mash.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes about 5 large or 6 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pats, plus more for serving
- ½ cup milk warmed
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt plus more for cooking the potatoes
- freshly ground black pepper
- fresh thyme leaves optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Stir 1 tablespoon salt into the water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, maple syrup, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth and well combined.
- Season to taste and serve topped with more butter and fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
