Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup creme fraiche, mascarpone or cilantro or basil pesto, optional

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water by 2 inches. Add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat the milk in a small saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil, cover and remove from the heat. Keep warm until the potatoes finish cooking.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the saucepan over low heat. Stir the potatoes for about a minute in the saucepan to evaporate any additional water.
  • Put the potatoes into a ricer or food mill set over a large bowl. Stir in the butter then 1 1/2 cups to all of the warm milk until creamy. Stir in creme fraiche, mascarpone or pesto, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, firm sweet potatoes for the creamiest, most flavorful mashed sweet potatoes. - Poke holes in the potatoes before baking to help them cook more evenly. - Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very tender when pierced with a fork. - Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed sweet potatoes. - Add butter, milk, and spices to taste. - For a sweeter dish, add a little brown sugar or maple syrup. - For a savory dish, add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. - Mashed sweet potatoes can be served immediately or reheated later. - Mashed sweet potatoes are a great addition to holiday meals, but they can also be enjoyed as a side dish for weeknight dinners.

Conclusion:

Mashed sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their naturally sweet flavor and creamy texture, mashed sweet potatoes are a favorite side dish for many people. Whether you are looking for a traditional holiday dish or a quick and easy weeknight meal, mashed sweet potatoes are a great option.
