mashed sweet potatoes

These incredible mashed sweet potatoes are mixed with herbs, butter and sour cream. No marshmallows or brown sugar in this mashed sweet potatoes recipe! Recipe yields 6 to 8 side servings.

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes

potatoes

salt, divided

flat-leaf parsley

small-to-medium garlic clove, pressed

sour cream*

butter, cubed

black pepper

olive oil

Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and add enough water to cover by about 1&#8243;. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender (in other words, it&#8217;s easy to slide a fork in and out), about 9 to 12 minutes.

Drain well, then return the potatoes to the pot. Mash the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency.

Promptly add almost all of the green onion and parsley, reserving a small amount of each for garnish. Add the garlic, and stir to combine. Then stir in most of the sour cream (reserve roughly 1 tablespoon for garnish), all of the butter, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Season to taste with additional salt (I usually add another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground black pepper.

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and swirl the reserved sour cream onto the top with a spoon. Sprinkle with the reserved green onion and parsley, drizzle the top lightly with olive oil, and finish with a sprinkle of pepper.

Serve promptly. Leftovers will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for 3 to 4 days.

Thank you for not adding sweetness to mashed sweet potatoes!  This is my pet peeve with all sweet vegetables like beets, butternut squash, etc.  Maple syrup?  Marshmallows?  Honey?  YUCK.  I need to OFFSET the sweetness, not intensify it.  Glad you agree :)

I'm in the UK and so have never tasted sweet potatoes with a sweetener. But I used creamy Greek yogurt and it was delicious.

Wow Kate, this recipe is very much similar to what we make out of potatoes, which I like the most. So I am sure that this recipe too must be very tasty. Thank for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

Looks good and very delicious, I would love to try it
thank you for sharing

I made this last night to see if it was good enough for Christmas dinner.  Everyone loved it!  This dish was everything I hoped it would be.  Easy to make, savory and just enough sweet from the potatoes themselves to put this dish into the rotation.  

Merry Christmas Kate!!

I'm so glad I stumbled across this recipe. Definitely going to have to make it for Christmas dinner!

These are absolutely delicious! I usually make “sweet” potatoes with crumb topping or vegan marshmallows. The savory sweets are a wonderful vehicle for gravy! I used tofutti sour cream, for this and Lucilles mashed (skipping the cream cheese, but adding a little almond milk), and it works well in both.

Hi, I made this side dish for Christmas and it turned out great! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, I'll be making many more!

I made the Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes for Christmas dinner. They were a hit. A friend that doesn’t really like sweet potatoes loved the recipe. Thanks for such a delicious recipe.

This is unbelievably delicious. My husband made it.....reading this recipe i probably would never have made it. It's a good thing he is more willing to try!!!!!!!

Fantastic!  I am making them again tonight.  I will substitute the parsley for tarragon again, didn't have parsley, or perhaps fresh basil, I think any fresh herb would be amazing.  What a wonderful idea!

Very good recipe my whole family whom as never eaten sweet potatoes loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Meant to give it 5 stars on my previous post.

Really good! I baked my sweet potatoes and my garlic. The sweet potatoes hardly needed any mashing and the roasted garlic tasted more mellow but still pronounced. I will make this again.

Wow! I was really skeptical about this recipe, but asked my three children if they wanted this recipe or a sweeter sweet potato recipe, and they picked this one! So I had to give it a try. This will definitely be our go-to for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! Absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

So good! I used goat yogurt instead of sour cream and ghee instead of butter :) Thank you for the recipe.

Thank you for this fantastic recipe! My family loved it!

Made these exactly according to the recipe and they are simply delicious! This will be my new holiday recipe and put into regular rotation here at home! Thank you so much!

Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

These Mashed Sweet Potatoes from Delish.com is the only sweet potato recipe you'll ever need.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

potatoes,

kosher salt

c. half and half (or milk)

butter

maple syrup

thyme leaves,

Husband really liked it. I liked it because it was easy!  I think our potatoes were on the small side, so entire mixture to me seemed a bit more liquidy that I thought it should be.

In my opinion sweet potato casserole deserves an actual spotlight shining bright on it during Thanksgiving dinner﻿. Here are tips to make this creamy and delicious recipe with marshmallows and pecans.

Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows

Cooking spray

c. large sweet potatoes,

brown sugar

tbsp. melted (1 stick) butter

pure vanilla extract

c. milk

eggs

c. packed dark brown sugar

c. all-purpose flour

tbsp. butter, melted

c. chopped pecans

c. mini marshmallows

This recipe is on the right track, and I love the pecans under the marshmallows. But it's waaaaaaay too sugary. If I made it again I'd use at least half the sugar in the topping - maybe less. There's already sugar in the potatoes (bot natural and added), plus the marshmallows. So cut the Streusel sugar back and it should be delicious! I also used almost twice as many potatoes and it was a great amount for about 10 people.

OMG, I love this recipe! I made the mistake of using canned yams the first time and it was a little runny and not near as flavorful. This time around, I used fresh and they came out fluffier and ithey were phenomenal! I also added a bit more butter to the topping and added coconut. It was SO good! Thank you so much for sharing!

The casserole is amazing and worth trying :). The recipe is a little too sweet but it's perfect for a dessert but if you are not a sweet tooth then I would cut the sugar down a bit . Other than that the recipe is amazing and easy to follow :)

This recipe was a hit!! I love the taste I added almonds as part of my toppings. My parents are asking me to make it for them because they loved it.

Before attempting this recipe, I read the reviews. Making it too sweet was a concern, so I used 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of a whole cup. It turned out great!!  My family loves this recipe, especially with the pecans.

Confusing directions, 2 portions of sugar BUT NO DIRECTIONS of how much in each step where added!

Potatoes can be boiled, drained, and then mashed OR cooked in a slow cooker or Instant Pot (my favorite method - see note for directions!).

Preheat oven to 375 and mash your cooked sweet potatoes.

Add eggs, vanilla, 1/2 cup melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and milk (or heavy cream) and mix until smooth. (I like my potatoes to have a bit of texture so I don&#39;t whip them for too long).

Spread potato mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.

In a bowl combine brown sugar, flour, 1/3 cup melted butter, and pecans and mix well (with a spoon, not a mixer). Sprinkle mixture over potatoes (it&#39;s okay if potatoes aren&#39;t completely covered).

Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until pecans are caramelized.

Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over pecan mixture. Return to oven for another 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are puffy and lightly browned. Serve and enjoy!
