Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for topping

Instructions
 

Boil the Sweet Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and return them to the pot.

    Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.

      Mix in Ingredients: Add the softened butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg into the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir well with a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are fully combined and the mash is creamy.

        Season to Taste: Taste the mash and add salt, pepper, or more maple syrup as desired. Remember, the mash should have a balanced sweetness that complements its natural flavors.

          Add Toppings (Optional): If you like a bit of crunch, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts on top before serving.

            Serve Warm: Transfer the creamy sweet potato mash to a serving bowl, and enjoy it warm as a delightful side dish!
