Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 stick real butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon half & half
  • Coarsely chopped pecans, optional


Instructions

  1. Peel and slice sweet potatoes.  Add to a medium saucepan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  Reduce to medium heat and simmer until potatoes are fork tender.  Drain.
  2. Add the potatoes and butter to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer.  Mix on medium speed until the potatoes are smooth and free of any lumps.  Add the brown sugar, half & half and spices and mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds to incorporate.  Fold in the pecans, if using.
  3. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

If you prepare the potatoes before your meal is ready, place them in an oven proof dish, cover with foil, and place in a 200-degree oven to keep warm.
