Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr Ingredients:
6 lb sweet potatoes |
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted |
1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed |
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Prick each potato twice with a fork and bake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan in lower third of oven until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove and cool slightly.
3. Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out warm flesh into a large bowl. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or, for a smoother purée, force through a potato ricer. Stir in butter, cream, syrup, salt, and pepper.
4. Cooks' note: Potatoes can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat in a 350F oven or a microwave.
