This mashed sweet potatoes recipe might just change your life. Dramatic? Maybe. Am I serious? Yes!
In our household, we always seem to have sweet potatoes on hand. Most commonly I love to make fries with them. I think they are the perfect addition to just about any meal and they are pretty good for you too!
But recently I was making my baby girl some homemade sweet potato puree, and it sparked some inspiration in me to make mashed sweet potatoes. And well, let’s just say I will be doing that again!
I forgot how yummy mashed potatoes are – especially when they are sweet potatoes! So I simply had to share this recipe with you because it is easy, oh so delicious and your whole family is bound to enjoy this!
Ingredients:
- 3 Pounds sweet potatoes
- ¼ Cup melted butter
- ¼ Cup milk
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste!)
- Optional: finely chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and then dice them into 1-inch chunks.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place sweet potato chunks in the pot and cook them for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender with a fork. Drain.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a hand masher or electric beater.
- Pour the butter and milk into the mixture and continue to mix until creamy.
