Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Mashed sweet potatoes are a great alternative to the traditional mashed potato!
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup half-and-half, or heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp salt, or more to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil then add the sweet potatoes to the pot. Cook the sweet potatoes until they're fork tender.
- Carefully drain the sweet potatoes then place them in a large bowl. Using a potato ricer, a potato masher, or just a fork, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If you want more texture, you'll likely want to use the potato masher and fork (like I did).
- Stir in the butter, half-and-half, and salt.
- Serve warm.
Notes
If making paleo, use almond or coconut milk.
