🧂 Ingredients

1 Place the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sweet potatoes are
fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2 Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, maple
syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, and salt.
3 Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth
and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a gluey texture.
4 Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or maple syrup if desired.
5 Transfer the maple mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with a
drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary, if desired.
