Grow Your Own Sweet Potatoes

Originally I started making mashed sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. I love sweet potatoes so now I make them throughout the year as well, even when there isn't a special occasion. I created this variation myself.

In addition to being perfect for Thanksgiving, this is a great side dish for most meat entrees. I frequently serve the potatoes with these pork chops and a simple vegetable side.

All of my ingredient measurements are approximate. Feel free to adjust to your own tastes. I used real salted butter, regular sour cream, and fat free skim milk.

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with water. Start the boiling process while you scrub and peel the potatoes.
  2. Add the potatoes to the pot. Cover. When the pot starts to boil, turn the heat to medium and crack the lid.
  3. Boil for 20-25 minutes or until you can easily stick a fork all the way through the potatoes.
  4. Drain. Mash the potatoes with a fork. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, and cinnamon. Beat with a hand mixer until the mixture is creamy.
  5. Turn the heat to low and stir until heated through. Serve immediately. Can't finish it all at once? It makes a wonderful leftover, too.
Enjoy!
