Whipped Sweet Potato Food

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and peel potatoes and cut into chunks. Place in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water (the water shouldn't touch the bottom of the steamer basket), cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or knife.Note: If you don't have a steamer basket, you could boil the sweet potato chunks. Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water (there should be an inch or two of water above the potatoes, basically ensuring that they are fully submerged and covered by the water). Bring to a boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Note: As you are boiling the potatoes, reduce the heat, if necessary, while still maintaining a boil.
• Carefully remove potatoes from the steamer basket and place in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip. Start on low speed to just break up, increasing the speed a little as you whip. Alternatively, you could give them a head start by simply mashing with a potato masher before using a mixer.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add heavy cream, salt, black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Pour over sweet potatoes and whip again, just until creamy.
• Transfer whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish, if desired, with more butter, parsley and/or chives. Serve and enjoy!
