These mashed sweet potatoes are ultra creamy and are the perfect accompaniment to chicken, meats and fish. You can flavor your mashed sweet potatoes in multiple ways and I'm providing instructions to make both sweet and savory versions.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork.
Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the sweet potatoes on the pan.
Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Let cool slightly then peel off the skins, or cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides.
Place the potato, milk, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a coarser texture, you can mash your potatoes by hand with a masher or fork.
See post text for different flavor variation options.
Serve, topped with pats of butter and/or parsley if desired.
