Mashed Sweet Potatoes
These Mashed Sweet Potatoes are super easy to make and belong on your dinner table weekly! They make a fantastic everyday side to chicken, steak and seafood but are scrumptious enough for company and your Thanksgiving and Christmas table. This Mashed Sweet Potato recipe is mega creamy, buttery, salty, sweet and savory; but the deliciousness doesn’t stop there, I’ve also included ways to mix up the flavor profile from adding bacon, cheese and nuts, to brown butter, garlic and herbs. These Mashed Sweet Potatoes can also be made ahead of time and kept warm in your slow cooker for an easy, make-ahead win.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add potatoes to a Dutch oven and add just enough water to cover potatoes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil (I cover to speed up the process, then uncover); reduce heat and simmer ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until very tender when pierced with a fork; drain VERY WELL. Transfer drained potatoes to a mixing bowl.
2
Heat butter and milk in the microwave for 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes or until the butter is mostly melted. Add butter/milk to sweet potatoes along with all remaining ingredients except chives. Beat with a hand held mixer for a fluffier and smoother consistence or mash with a potato masher or fork for a chunkier/heavier consistency.

When potatoes are almost to desired consistency add chives and mix in. Add additional milk if desired for smoother/creamier potatoes. Garnish with a pad of softened butter and fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
