Ingredients
- 3 lbs Sweet Potatoes
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh Thyme
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
1.Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash the potatoes under cold water. Peel the skin off with a sharp peeler. Cut them into small, even cubes.
2.Boil the Water
- Fill a large pot with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a high boil.
3.Cook the Potatoes
- Put the cubes into the boiling water carefully. Cook them for about fifteen minutes. They should be very soft.
4.Drain the Water
- Pour the potatoes into a colander. Let all the steam come out. They need to be dry for mashing.
5.Warm the Liquid
- Put milk and butter in a small pan. Heat it until the butter melts. Do not let it boil over.
6.Mash the Potatoes
- Put the potatoes back into the big pot. Use your masher to crush them. Do this until no lumps remain.
7.Mix it Together
- Slowly pour in the warm milk and butter. Stir it with a wooden spoon. Add the maple syrup and spices.
8.Add Final Herbs
- Top the mash with fresh thyme. Give it one last stir. Serve it while it is still hot.
Notes
➔ Use room temperature butter for a much smoother mix.
➔ Do not overcook the potatoes or they get watery.
➔ Add the milk slowly to get the right thickness.
➔ Use a fine sieve for a restaurant-style texture.
➔ Season with salt at every step for better flavor.
➔ Use fresh herbs instead of dried for best taste.
➔ Warm your serving bowl to keep the food hot.
