Whipped Mashed Sweet Potato Recipe

This mashed sweet potato recipe is sort of the polar opposite of your traditional marshmallow-coated sweet potatoes recipes. You still get all the wonderful richness, but without the sticky strangeness of the marshmallows. This is one that kids and adults alike can enjoy!

Serves 8.

Ingredients:
1/2 C. (1 stick) unsalted butter, in pieces
1/4 C. heavy cream
1 tsp. salt
1/4 C. dark brown sugar
4 lbs. sweet potatoes
1/2 - 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, optional
1/4 C. bourbon, optional
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions: 1. Peel and quarter sweet potatoes. Slice quarters into 1/4" slices.

2. In a large, heavy pot (non-stick is best), combine butter, cream, salt, sugar, sweet potatoes, and cinnamon and bourbon (if using).

3. Heat to a simmer, turn heat very low, cover, and cook until very tender, about 50-55 minutes (but check them often). Potatoes are done when they fall apart when you poke or handle them.

4. Remove pan from heat. Mash potatoes and liquid together with a potato masher or electric mixer. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve immediately.
