Ingredients
4 pounds sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into 2-inch rounds
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for serving
1/2 cup brown sugar
Zest of 1 lemon.
1/2 teaspoon freshly-grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them stand to release any excess water, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Combine the sweet potatoes, cream, butter, sugar, lemon zest, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Mash until the mixture is light and smooth. Serve with a pat of butter.
