Units
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons pastured butter
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup half-and-half or milk
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to peel the potatoes and then cut them into uniform cubes.
- Place a steamer basket into a large pot of simmering water. Add the sweet potatoes to the basket, place the lid on the pot, and steam for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the steamer basket from the pot and drain the water. Place the cooked sweet potatoes directly back into the pot.
- In a small pan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over medium low heat. Add the chopped herbs, salt, and pepper and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, until very fragrant. Turn heat to low and whisk in the half-and-half or milk.
- Pour the butter mixture into the pot with the sweet potatoes. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they are smooth. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- The cooking time will vary depending on how big you cut your cubes. 1 inch cubes will cook in about 20 minutes.
- Mashing your sweet potatoes by hand is the preferred method for this recipe.
- Any leftover mashed sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
