Ingredients
- 4 Large Sweet Potatoes peeled and diced
- ¼ cup Vegan Butter
- ¼ cup Plant-Based Milk I recommend Oat Milk
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt more to taste
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
- Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft and fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to a pot.
- Use a potato masher and mash the potatoes.
- Add the vegan butter, plant-based milk, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and continue to mash until completely smooth. NOTE: If you want your mashed sweet potatoes to be less sweet, add half the amount of maple syrup.
- Optional: Use an immersion blender to get the potatoes extra smooth.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness and salt to your preference.
Notes
Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
Storage: Store cooled leftover in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat: Add the portion of mashed potatoes you'd like to reheat to a pot over medium-low heat. Add a splash of plant-based milk to loosen it up as needed. Alternatively, you can use the microwave. Heat for 1-2 minutes until hot.
