Mashed Sweet Potato with Nutmeg and Sour Cream
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse

Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Rub the sweet potatoes with the oil and place in an ovenproof baking dish and
roast potatoes until tender, about 1 hour, turning once after 30 minutes. When
potatoes are cooked, set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half
and squeeze the potato pulp into a 3 quart saucepan. Set the flame to medium-low
and mash gently until smooth with a potato masher. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg,
sour cream, and butter and fold together until thoroughly combined. Remove from
the heat and serve immediately, or keep warm, covered, until ready to
serve.
