Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds sweet potatoes – medium/large
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter – room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese – or cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg – optional
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Pierce the sweet potatoes several times using a fork or pairing knife, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour or until a knife slides in easily.
  4. Let the sweet potatoes cool enough to handle, then peel off the skins.
  5. Put the sweet potato flesh into a food processor along with mascarpone, nutmeg, maple syrup, and a good pinch of salt, and pulse until smooth.
  6. Alternatively, beat the mixture with a hand mixer or immersion blender until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  7. Adjust salt to taste.
  8. Serve immediately if hot or warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often until heated through.

Notes

  • Ingredient Notes and Substitutions: Sweet Potatoes: Beauregard, Red Garnet and Jewel are the most commonly found sweet potatoes at the market
  • Any of these would be just fine for this recipe
  • Maple Syrup: Brown sugar, honey or agave will all work in place of maple syrup
  • Mascarpone: Cream cheese is a perfect 1-2 substitute for mascarpone
  • It’s much cheaper too! Storing and Re-heating Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in a shallow, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days
  • Reheat on the stove or in the microwave
