Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Zutaten

• 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)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork.

2. 2

   Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the sweet potatoes on the pan.

3. 3

   Bake 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. 4

   Place 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.
