Ingredients

Sweet Potato Mash:

  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 4-5 Sweet Potatoes, chopped into 1/2inch pieces
  • 1 cup of milk, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Pecan Topping:

  • 1 cup Pecans
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Preparation

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and sauté for about five minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the milk and salt, stir to coat the sweet potatoes. Cover the pot and turn the heat down to medium-low.

Cook the sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally, until soft. About 15 minutes. Once cooked, mash the potatoes. Add the final 1/4 cup of milk and whisk the sweet potatoes, until whipped and lightened in texture. Spoon into serving bowl.

Pecan Topping:

In a small pan, melt butter, add pecans and cinnamon. Sauté for a few minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle maple syrup over.

Spoon over mashed sweet potatoes. Serve immediately.
