Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe (Buttery Sweet Potato Mash Recipe)

▢
Start by steaming sweet potatoes. I like to scrub them really well, halve them and place them on a steamer basket. Steam cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes is completely cooked and tender.
▢
Remove them from steamer and allow them to cool for 10 minutes so it is easy to handle. Peel off the skin from the sweet potatoes and set aside in a bowl.
▢
While the sweet potatoes are steaming, make the brown butter for the mashed potatoes. Take butter in a sauce pan and place on medium to low heat. Cook until the butter is completely melted.
▢
Once the butter is melted, continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes on low heat until the milk solids in the butter is toasted to dark golden brown. The butter will smell nutty and turned into golden brown colour. This is your brown butter, set aside.
▢
Now take your steamed and peeled sweet potatoes in a large bowl and use a potato masher or potato ricer to mash them completely.
▢
Once potatoes is mashed, add in the honey or maple syrup, melted brown butter, vanilla extract and mix well. Now warm your milk slightly and add to the mashed potatoes little a time and mix well. It should get creamy, fluffy and thick. Thats is mashed sweet potatoes are done. Taste and adjust the maple syrup.
▢
Keep the mashed potatoes warm by placing it over a bowl of simmering water until ready to serve. Enjoy.
