Flavorful Mashed Sweet Potatoes

---

So many delicious and complementing flavors in this dish. I made it for thanksgiving one year (for 40 people so i made multiple servings!) and it was gone with the first helpings at the buffet table!!

Steps

---

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes.

---

I leave the peels on for texture and nutrients , but feel free to peel them.

---

Quarter the sweet potatoes and cut into slices about 1 / 4 inch thick.

---

Combine butter , cream , salt , sugar , and sweet potatoes in a large saucepan.

---

Cook covered over low heat , stirring occasionally untill potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.

---

About 30-40 minutes.

---

Turn off heat and mash the potatoes with a hand mashed or a handmixer.

---

Stir in remaining ingredients and whip to make fluffy.

---

Also try sprinkling some dried cranberries or chopped walnuts on top :).
