Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping your sweet potatoes into uniform pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size. Place the chopped sweet potatoes in a large pot filled with cold, salted water, submerging them completely.
  2. Turn the heat to high and bring the pot to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat and let the sweet potatoes simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. Carefully drain the sweet potatoes in a colander, allowing excess water to escape. Return them to the pot and use a potato masher to mash until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are still warm, add in the unsalted butter and honey. Stir vigorously until both are fully melted and evenly incorporated into the sweet potato mash.
  5. Gradually pour in your choice of milk or heavy cream while stirring continuously until you reach the desired creamy consistency. Then sprinkle in salt and cinnamon.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning and sweetness as desired. This final touch ensures your Honey Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes will be a crowd-pleaser.
