Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt for boiling
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and stir to dissolve. Boil for 10-15 minutes, until you are able to easily pierce with a fork. Take care not to overcook.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over very low heat. Add the butter and cream to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes and incorporate the butter and cream into the potatoes.
- Sprinkle with garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir to mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve warm.
