Instructions
- Dice potatoes into 2" chunks.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain well and allow to sit in the strainer for a few minutes to make sure all water evaporates.
- Add butter to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher. Add cream or milk a little bit at a time to reach desired consistency. You may not need all of the cream.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot and top with a dash of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Mash sweet potatoes with a hand masher for a more rustic consistency (aka a bit less smooth).
- Use a hand mixer or immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
- If you prefer a sweeter mashed potato, add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar along with the butter.
- Sweet potatoes can be baked in the oven instead of boiling. Cook at 400°F for about 1 hour or until fork tender.
- Drain very well to ensure they're not watery.
- Sweet potatoes mash best while they're warm.
- Heat the cream before adding it to the potatoes.
- Mash sweet potatoes with a hand masher for a more rustic consistency (aka a bit less smooth). Use a hand mixer or immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
