Ingredients
- 3 lb dark-orange sweet potatoes about 4 potatoes
- 8 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled (reserve 2 Tbsp for garnish)
- 1 medium onion chopped (1 cup)
- ¼ cup heavy cream or less
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- fresh thyme sprigs if desired
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Pierce sweet potatoes all over with fork; place on cookie sheet with sides. Bake about 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Let stand 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion to skillet and cook over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Peel sweet potatoes; place in a large bowl. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until no lumps remain. Add heavy cream, thyme, salt and bground black lack pepper; mash until very smooth.
- Stir in onion and crumbled bacon to sweet potatoes until blended.
- Garnish with reserved bacon and thyme sprigs.
Notes
- The sweet potatoes should be fork-tender when they are removed from the oven. Let them cool slightly before peeling them.
- The heavy cream can be warm so that the sweet potatoes absorb it more easily. You can heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds or on the stovetop.
- Roasting the sweet potatoes really brings out the natural flavors. If you are in a hurry, you can peel and boil them until fork tender instead or pressure cook them.
