SWEET POTATO MASH

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, (approximately 4 to 6 yams or about 12 sweet potatoes
depending on size) peeled and cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks or 3/4 pound) butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 to 1/2 cup cream, as needed to achieve desired consistency
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • These potatoes can be steamed to preserve more of the flavor and vitamins (or boiled if you wish), until tender. (To steam them, you can place them in a single layer on a rack placed over a large shallow pan of water with a large pot lid to cover. Replenish water in pan if it boils off before they are tender.)
  • Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl and mash by hand with a masher or fork. Then, using a beater, whip in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and enough cream to achieve your desired consistency. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND BROWN BUTTER



Mashed Sweet Potatoes With Maple and Brown Butter image

This recipe is a grown-up take on sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows. A generous swirl of browned butter and maple syrup give the potatoes an earthy sweetness and great depth of flavor, while salted, toasted pecans sprinkled on top add a savory crunch. To save time on Thanksgiving, toast the pecans and make the brown butter up to a day in advance. Simply store the pecans in an airtight container, and the brown butter in the refrigerator. (Gently melt the butter in the microwave before using.)

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup raw pecans (optional)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (1¼ sticks)
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pecans (optional): Place the pecans in a medium sauté pan. Cook over medium-low heat, tossing often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Transfer to a cutting board, and roughly chop. Sprinkle generously with salt, and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, watching carefully and stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until brown bits appear and the butter gives off a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately. Carefully pour the melted butter into a small heatproof bowl, scraping the pan with a spatula to get all of the brown bits. Set aside.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes, and add them to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper and mix on medium-low speed until the potatoes are creamy and smooth. Add the reserved brown butter and mix until just incorporated.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the reserved pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm. (The potatoes may be kept warm, covered, in a low oven for up to 30 minutes. Add the pecans just before serving.)

1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup all-purpose flour

SWEET POTATOES WITH BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR



Sweet Potatoes With Bourbon and Brown Sugar image

These silky mashed sweet potatoes are spiced with cloves, nutmeg and a little black pepper, brightened with lemon zest, and spiked with bourbon (or orange juice, if you'd prefer). Puréeing them in a food processor yields the smoothest, airiest texture, but for something a little more rustic, you could mash them by hand. Whichever you choose, these reheat well, either in a microwave or in a pot over low heat.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, casseroles, vegetables, side dish

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, pricked with a fork (10 to 12 sweet potatoes)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 to 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons bourbon or orange juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Large pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap potatoes in foil, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let rest until cool enough to handle but still warm, then remove the foil and peel off the skins.
  • Add sweet potatoes to a food processor, along with butter, brown sugar, bourbon or juice, lemon zest, salt, nutmeg, pepper and cloves. Purée until smooth. (Or, for a chunkier texture, mash them by hand.) Taste and add salt, sugar or both if you like. Serve while still warm or reheat before serving.

Categories     Thanksgiving     Side     Sweet Potato/Yam     Bon Appétit     Food Processor     Nut     Bake     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Pecan     Fall     Maple Syrup     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield 12-14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the topping:
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
½ cup chopped pecans (about 2 ounces)
¼ cup (½ stick) chilled butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces
For the sweet potatoes:
5 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into 1½-inch pieces
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix sugar, pecans and butter in small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to use. (Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain. Let stand in colander 15 minutes. Purée sweet potatoes in processor.
  • Beat eggs, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice and salt in large bowl. Mix in puréed sweet potatoes. Transfer sweet potato mixture to prepared dish. Sprinkle pecan topping evenly over mixture.
  • Bake until sweet potato mixture is set and topping bubbles, about 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes and serve.

Tips for Perfect Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Mash:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select firm and plump sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast, Don't Boil: Roasting caramelizes the potatoes' natural sugars, giving the mash a richer and more complex flavor than boiling.
  • Use Real Butter: Butter adds richness and creaminess to the mash. Avoid margarine or butter substitutes.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can make the mash gluey. Mix until the potatoes are well combined but still have some texture.
  • Season Wisely: Use a combination of spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of the sweet potatoes. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classic choices.
  • Serve Warm: Sweet potato mash is best served warm, right out of the pot. Leftovers can be reheated gently in the microwave or oven.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar sweet potato mash is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your taste preferences by adjusting the spices and seasonings. Whether you're serving it for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
