Kimberly’s Whipped Sweet Potatoes : The 'How to Cook' Blog

Well, I broke down for a Panko Chicken Salad with Chili Lime Dressing from Sobey's, and a fruit bowl. That's healthier than McD's. :) # 2012/05/19

Kimberly’s Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Posted by Kimberly on Oct - 30 - 2008 with 5 Comments

My goal was to make a sweet potato dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas that didn’t taste like the traditional style of tasting very similar to pumpkin pie filling as a side dish.

This gives you the amazing flavor of sweet potatoes, but gives it it’s own identity, not that of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

Try it, You’ll just love how light and fluffy they are…Melt in your mouth!

Type: Side
Serve With: Thanksgiving or Christmas Feast!
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: ~ 1 hr.
Yield: Enough to serve 6, and you should still have some leftovers.

Ingredients:

Instructions:
1. In a large stock pot, boil sweet potatoes in plenty of water with about 1/2 tbsp salt added to water until fork tender – ~ 1 hr.

2. Either mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher then use a hand mixer, or put them into a large mixer with other ingredients and whip the potatoes until they are very light in texture – ~ 5 min on medium speed (start off on low speed).

3. Put the whipped sweet potatoes into a serving dish or casserole to keep warm until dinner.

4. Enjoy!

This year, I added about 1/2 shot of St. Remy French Brandy to the mix and about 2-3 tbsp of table cream (could also use whipping cream).

Since we’re not making a pumpkin pie and have opted for lemon meringue (since it’s just my mother and me), I added a hint of freshly grated nutmeg, cinnamon and some ground ginger (about 2 dashes) to satisfy that craving.

Wow – so delicious…

Merry Christmas!
