My family and I were traveling through Southern California and we stopped at a random steakhouse and had mashed sweet potatoes JUST LIKE THESE. I guessed on the ingredients and they turned out fabulous. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons regular sweet butter |
2 tablespoons milk or 2 tablespoons heavy cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (to taste) |
3 dashes ground nutmeg |
2 lbs sweet potatoes, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/4 inch-thick (2 large or 3 medium to small potatoes) or 2 lbs yams, peeled quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/4 inch-thick (2 large or 3 medium to small potatoes) |
nutmeg, to taste after mashed |
1/2 tablespoon butter, to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg in a large saucepan. 2. Bring to a slow boil, reduce, cover and cook over low heat stirring the sugar & milk mixture onto the potatoes. 3. Cook for approximately 30-45 minutes. 4. Remove from heat, mash in a large bowl combining the sugar, milk vanilla mixture into the potatoes. 5. For more buttery potatoes, add 1/2 teaspoon of butter while mashing. 6. Shake ground nutmeg over potatoes to taste. 7. If you want a slightly browned version, place potatoes in Pyrex pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F for a crispy outer layer. |
