NOT TOO SWEET SWEET POTATOES



Not Too Sweet Sweet Potatoes image

I needed a good sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving that satisfied the marshmallow topping brigade as well as those of us who didn't want something quite so sweet. So I played around with a variety of recipes and came up with this. It's definitely sweet, but not too sweet. And no marshmallow in sight!

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
cold water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the sweet potatoes and potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small pot over low heat, bring the butter, cream, and milk to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from the heat.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and mash with a hand masher until smooth. Season to taste with pepper and salt.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.
  • Note: Russet potatoes gives these a lighter texture compared your typical sweet potato mash, but you can swap them out with two additional pounds of sweet potatoes if you'd prefer to keep it classic.
  • Enjoy!
