Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt plus more for boiling
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot with generously salted, cold water and cover at least an inch.
- Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and place them back into the pot. Use a paper towel to blot off excess water.
- Melt the butter with the milk in a small pan and then pour into the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or potato ricer.
- Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, thyme, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- DEVOUR!
