Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3 lb Sweet Potatoes peeled + cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- ⅓ cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes and cut into chunks. Place in a pot of boiling water, cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
- Carefully drain potatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip. Start on low speed to just break up, increasing the speed a little as you whip. Alternatively, you could give them a head start by simply mashing with a potato masher before using a mixer.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add heavy cream, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Pour over sweet potatoes and whisk again, just until creamy.
- Transfer whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish, if desired, with more butter.
- Enjoy!
