Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the sweet potato cubes to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Step 5
Add the unsalted butter, pure maple syrup, heavy cream, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the pot with the sweet potatoes.
Step 6
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, puree the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Serve the sweet potato puree warm, garnished with an optional drizzle of maple syrup or a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
