EASY CREAMY MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Easy Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

These easy mashed sweet potatoes are on the savory side, but you can add a few extra ingredients for a sweeter version. See our tips in the notes section below for our suggestions. You can simmer, bake, microwave, or use a pressure cooker to cook the sweet potatoes. Our preferred method is to simmer the potatoes since this takes a similar amount of time when using a pressure cooker and when microwaving them and less time than when using an oven. We have included the steps for cooking sweet potatoes in the oven, microwave, and pressure cooker in the article above.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 6 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean (5 to 6 small-to-medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 bay leaf, optional or a substitute fresh thyme or rosemary sprig
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, heavy cream, milk or half-and-half, optional
Fine herbs and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot and add enough water so that they are covered by about one inch of water. Add the salt and bay leaf.
  • Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and then return the potatoes to the pot. Or if you plan to use a food processor, add them directly to the processor bowl. (A food processor makes extra silky mashed sweet potatoes.)
  • Add the butter, cinnamon, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until your desired consistency. If using a food processor, pulse until your desired consistency.
  • For extra creamy sweet potatoes, stir in sour cream or a splash of heavy cream, milk, or half-and-half. Serve with extra butter and chopped fresh herbs (optional) on top.

Tips:

  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This allows the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes: Different varieties of sweet potatoes have different flavors and textures. Try using a mix of white, orange, and purple sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a potato ricer to get a smooth and lump-free mash: A potato ricer is the best tool for getting a smooth and lump-free mash. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork or a food processor, but the results will not be as good.
  • Season the sweet potato mash to taste: Salt, pepper, and butter are all classic seasonings for sweet potato mash. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
  • Serve the sweet potato mash immediately: Sweet potato mash is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato mash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, a main course, or even a dessert. With its naturally sweet flavor and creamy texture, sweet potato mash is a crowd-pleaser that is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
