Ingredients
Scale
2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and diced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free version)
½ cup heavy cream (or almond milk for a lighter, vegan alternative)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot, add diced sweet potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes well and allow them to steam dry for a couple of minutes.
Return the sweet potatoes to the pot or a large mixing bowl. Add butter, cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth.
Season further to taste and gradually add more cream for a creamier consistency, if desired.
Spoon the creamy mash into a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives.
