Mashed Sweet Potatoes

These mashed sweet potatoes are ultra creamy and are the perfect accompaniment to chicken, meats and fish. You can flavor your mashed sweet potatoes in multiple ways and I'm providing instructions to make both sweet and savory versions.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 lbs sweet potatoes
• 1/3 cup milk
• 5 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
• pats of butter (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork.
2. 2Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the sweet potatoes on the pan.
3. 3Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Let cool slightly then peel off the skins, or cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides.
4. 4Place the potato, milk, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a coarser texture, you can mash your potatoes by hand with a masher or fork.
5. 5See post text for different flavor variation options.
6. 6Serve, topped with pats of butter and/or parsley if desired.
