Molasses Whipped Sweet Potatoes
This dish was served at the inauguration luncheon in 2008; i've been making it ever since as my go-to sweet potato recipe for holidays and special occasions.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.
Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with a fork , about 1 hour.
Peel the skin off of the sweet potatoes while still hot.
By hand or mixer , smash potatoes until all large chunks are gone.
Combine the potatoes , butter , salt , orange juice , brown sugar , ground cumin , molasses and maple syrup in a large bowl.
Continue to mix all together until all lumps are gone.
Adjust any of the seasonings to your specific tastes.
Can be made the day before.
