I dearly love this time of year and this mashed sweet potatoes recipe. Whenever fall rolls around, I just feel better. A lot of it has to do with getting outside more, the cool air around me, and leaves bursting forth in a rainbow of colors. The southeast has gorgeous foliage and if you’ve never seen it, I encourage you to take a little road trip and do so. Getting outside gets me outside of the weight of the world and reminds me of my connection to the bigger picture, lightening my burdens and lifting my spirits.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes Perfectly In Line With Fall Flavors

Today’s mashed sweet potato recipe is perfectly in line with the flavors of the season. I dearly love sweet potatoes and this is a delicious way to enjoy them as a side dish that relies mostly on their natural sweetness rather than taking it over the top like most of my other favorite sweet potato dishes do. It’s a perfect weeknight supper with a simple rotisserie chicken from the local deli or as a compliment to a holiday meal.

Ingredients to Make The Perfect Mashed Sweet Potatoes Are:

• Sweet Potatoes
• Butter
• Heavy Cream
• Honey
• Cinnamon 

As always, the printable version of this recipe may be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How To Make the Perfect Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

• Prep your sweet potatoes by peeling them (with a vegetable peeler or knife, whichever you grab first) and then cutting them into chunks or slices.

• Place them in a medium sized stock pot and add enough water to cover them by about an inch.
• Put this over medium high heat and bring just to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until potatoes are soft and tender, about twenty minutes.

• Drain the potatoes in a colander and then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add butter, cream, honey, and cinnamon.

• Beat all of this with an electric mixer until well blended, smooth, and fluffy.

Seriously, if this was all we had for supper I’d be happy right now. I LOVE these mashed sweet potatoes!!

This is great served as a weeknight side dish but is also the perfect accompaniment to a holiday meal!
