Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (1134 g) large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
- 8 tablespoons (42 g) salted butter
- ¼ cup (59 ml) half-and-half or heavy cream
- ¾ cup (177 ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil then add the sweet potatoes to the pot.2 pounds large sweet potatoes
- 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, milk, and salt. You may need to add more milk for desired consistency. I like mine to be fluffy and not dry.8 tablespoons salted butter, 1/4 cup half-and-half, ¾ cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Serve warm.
