This recipe for How to Cook Whipped Sweet Potatoes is a nice change that’s really delicious for the Holidays.

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.

Type: Side Dish Recipe

Serve with: Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: ~ 1 hr
Yield: Enough to serve 6, and you should still have some leftovers.

Ingredients:

• 4 large sweet potatoes – peeled & 1 inch diced
• 1/2 cup butter – softened
• 1/4 cup maple syrup – Canadian, of course!
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar – packed
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, boil sweet potatoes in plenty of water with about 1/2 tbsp salt added to water until fork tender – about 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 – about 5 min on medium speed (start off on low speed).
3. Put the whipped sweet potatoes into a serving dish or casserole dish to keep warm until dinner.
