Believe it or not, not everyone wants their sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows or brown sugar. For them, here is a straightforward dish that lets the natural, earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes shine.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 8 sweet potatoes)
1 to 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and black or white pepper
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until thoroughly fork tender. (If you're making these for Thanksgiving, you can tuck the potatoes into corners of the oven at any time during the roasting of the turkey.)
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise, scoop the pulp into a bowl and mash with as much butter as you dare to use. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add more butter, if desired. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Serve while still warm or reheat before serving.
