Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert or a mesh colander in a large pot and add enough water to reach the bottom of the steamer. Place the sweet potatoes in the steamer and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook over simmering water for about 25 minutes, until very tender. Check occasionally to be sure the water doesn't boil away.
  • Transfer the sweet potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, slowly add the half-and-half, orange zest, orange juice, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. With the mixer still on low, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Taste for seasonings and mix until smooth. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have cuts.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can cook the potatoes in a variety of ways, such as boiling, baking, or steaming. The potatoes are done when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes well: After cooking, drain the potatoes in a colander to remove any excess water.
  • Mash the potatoes: You can mash the potatoes with a potato masher, a fork, or a food processor. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the potatoes, as this can make them gummy.
  • Add milk and butter: Add milk and butter to the mashed potatoes and stir until they are smooth and creamy. You can also add other ingredients to the potatoes, such as herbs, spices, or cheese.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately after they are made. However, you can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave.

Silky sweet potato puree is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, a main course, or even a dessert. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With its smooth and creamy texture, silky sweet potato puree is a favorite among people of all ages.
