Sweet Potatoes always have their rightful place on the Thanksgiving table!
Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
How about just mashing them?
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
- ¼ cup half-and-half (or heavy cream or milk)
- 1 tsp. salt, or more to taste
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil then add the sweet potatoes to the pot. Cook the sweet potatoes until they’re fork tender.
- Carefully drain the sweet potatoes then place them in a large bowl. Using a potato ricer, a potato masher, or just a fork, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If you want more texture, you’ll likely want to use the potato masher and fork (like I did).
- Stir in the butter, half-and-half, and salt.
- Serve warm.
The only things I would to the above recipe is BROWN SUGAR.
My gram would always make Southern Sweet Potatoes! They provoke so many awesome feels.
