Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with water and adding a generous pinch of salt.
Step 2
Bring the water to a lively boil, creating a perfect environment for your sweet potatoes.
Step 3
Once the water is bubbling, gently add the cubed sweet potatoes and lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Let them simmer away for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

When they’re ready, carefully drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl, where the magic will happen.
Step 6
Grab a potato masher and mash those sweet potatoes until they’re beautifully smooth and creamy.

Step 8
Next, stir in softened butter and a splash of maple syrup, blending everything together until the butter melts and the flavors meld into a delightful harmony.
Step 9
Serve your luscious mashed sweet potatoes warm, and watch as they become the star of your meal, bringing comfort and joy to every bite.
