Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Smooth, sweet, and savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes — This is a super simple recipe that tastes like you in way more effort than you did.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 lb sweet potatoes
• 4 ounces sour cream (approximately 1/2 cup)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 3 Tbsp Butter
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice (optional)
• 1/2 tsp Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Trim the ends of the sweet potatoes, peel, and dice into 2-inch cubes. Place them in a medium pan, add salt and enough water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes. We want them soft but not mushy.
2. 2Drain all the water completely with a colander, return to the pot and mash the potatoes until they become smooth. A potato masher or ricer works best.
3. 3Add the butter, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add some milk to thin it out if necessary.
4. 4Serve hot.
