Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup optional chopped pecans for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.

Step 3

Poke a few holes in each sweet potato using a fork to allow steam to escape.

Step 4

Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a knife can be easily inserted into the center.

Step 6

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes using your hands or a knife. It should easily come off once they are cool enough to handle.

Step 8

Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.

Step 9

Add the butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the bowl.

Step 10

Use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to whip the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher for a more rustic texture.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if necessary by adding additional maple syrup or salt.

Step 12

Transfer the whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 13

If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans for added crunch and garnish.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy!
