49. I make Mashed Sweet potatoes...

Tue Nov 19, 2019, 05:06 PM

Nov 2019

I boil mine 20 minutes once the water begins to bubble. Then I blanch them so I can peel them. 3 lbs. or so per batch.

In a large bowl, I smash them with my hand masher, add 1/2 to 2/3 cup cream, 3 tbsp. butter, 1/2 tsp. salt. Blend u til smooth.

Place in a baking dish sprayed with a non stuck spray. Sprinkle Brown sugar mixed with some butter as a crust. bake 10 minutes at 350°.
