Instructions
- Pour water into a pot and heat to high heat. Let it come to a boil.
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove all of the skin from the sweet potatoes. Then, cut your peeled potatoes into ¼” slices and then again into quarters. We want them to be bite-sized!
- Place the sweet potato chunks into the boiling water. Boil for 20 minutes or until all potatoes are tender. You should be able to pierce them with a fork.
- Drain the water and turn the heat down to medium-low. Before adding the potatoes back to the pot, add the butter and let it soften.
- Add the potatoes back in. Then, add salt, hot sauce, elote seasoning, half and half, shaved gouda cheese, fresh thyme, and parsley.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until you receive your desired mashed potato consistency.
- Garnish with fresh thyme, slice of butter or two, and enjoy!
Notes
- Best served right after making, however leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30 second intervals
- You don’t HAVE to peel the potatoes, but doing so will help create a smoother texture. Because this is a savory recipe, the skins would actually help incorporate some earthy flavor.
