Tips:

  • Choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • If you prefer crispy potato skins, leave them unpeeled. However, peeling them will result in smoother mashed sweet potatoes.
  • To save time, use canned whole cranberry sauce instead of fresh cranberries.
  • Feel free to add other spices and herbs to your taste, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • If you like your sweet potatoes sweeter, add more maple syrup or brown sugar to taste.
  • For a healthier version, use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • If you are short on time, you can bake the sweet potatoes in the microwave. Just prick them with a fork and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes per potato, or until tender.
