Southern Smashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes remind me more of Southern cooking than any other vegetable. I cannot remember a holiday that sweet potatoes were not served in a variety of ways. Here is one of my favorite holiday sweet potato recipes.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 tablespoons 1/2 stick butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes in large pot and add water to just cover them. Set heat to high and boil potatoes until tender, and then drain.
- Place potatoes back into the pot and fold in butter and sugar until dissolved. Blend in spices with a hand mixer until well incorporated and potatoes are smooth. Serve hot with extra butter!
