Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

  • 6 lb sweet potatoes
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Prick each potato twice with a fork and bake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan in lower third of oven until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove and cool slightly.
  3. Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out warm flesh into a large bowl. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or, for a smoother purée, force through a potato ricer. Stir in butter, cream, syrup, salt, and pepper.
