3/4 cup 1% Milk
3 tablespoons light Butter, softened
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

  • Peel the sweet potatoes if desired. You can also leave the skins on for a more rustic look.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a stand mixer.
  • Add butter, milk, spices, and seasonings to taste. Common additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the mashed sweet potatoes immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later use.
