Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes washed, peeled, and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (I used skim milk)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper optional
Instructions
- Place the prepared sweet potatoes in a large dutch oven and cover with water so that there is two inches of water above the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are for tender. (See my notes in the post for oven, slow cooker, and Instant Pot cooking methods.)
- Drain the potatoes and trasfer them to a large bowl. Add in the butter and mash with a potato masher. Then stir in the brown sugar and milk, and beat with a hand held mixer until smooth.
- Add half the amount of salt listed. Taste and add more until it is the taste you prefer. Serve warm.
