Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.

Peel the skins off the roasted sweet potatoes and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, ground nutmeg, and sherry to the bowl with the sweet potato flesh.
