Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups plain, whole milk yogurt
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
A generous amount of plain yogurt adds zing and creaminess to these maple-syrup-sweetened mashed sweet potatoes.
Instructions
- Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Strain potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
- Add all remaining ingredients to a food processor (yogurt through pepper) as well as the strained sweet potatoes. Pulse on high until smooth and creamy.
- Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving warm.
