Ingredients

• 2 pounds Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until sweet potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly, ensuring all excess water is removed.

Step 5

Return the sweet potatoes to the pot and place over low heat. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Add the butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the sweet potatoes.

Step 7

Stir the ingredients together until the butter is melted and the mash is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Season with black pepper, and adjust the seasoning to taste with more salt or sugar if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the sweet potato mash to a serving bowl.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using, and serve warm.
