Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 orange, zested
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put them in a roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes until they are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven.
- In a small sauce pot, over low heat, heat the cream with the bay leaves, then keep warm until ready to puree potatoes. Discard the bay leaves before adding to potatoes.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, and brown sugar. Add cream and 1 tablespoon of butter and puree until super smooth.
