Brown Sugar Mashed Sweet Potatoes
- 2– 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into 1-inch cubes. Add the potatoes to a large pot along with cold water. Use enough water to completely cover 1 inch above the potatoes.
- Place the pot on the stove on High and allow the water to come to a boil. When the water reaches boiling, reduce to medium-high. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Pierce with a fork to check.
- Drain the excess water from the pot.
- Add the butter, cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar or sweetener, nutmeg, and salt to the pot. Stir until well combined.
- Serve.
