Sweet potatoes are giving russets a run for their money. It’s about time I shared a mashed sweet potato recipe. The problem with most mashed sweet potatoes is that they’re made even sweeter with brown sugar and marshmallows. Sweet potatoes are already plenty sweet on their own! So, I added savory ingredients to my mashed sweet potatoes to balance out that inherent sweetness. Finely chopped fresh parsley and green onion combined with some sour cream and butter are all you need for incredible savory mashed sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. Maple syrup
4 tbsp. Butter
3/4 cup Milk
Kosher salt
6 Sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped

Method

01

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with at least 2" of water. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
02

Mash potatoes and add half and half (or milk), butter, and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper.
