3 tbsp unsalted butter
¼ cup heavy cream, warmed
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15–18 minutes.
2
Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander, then return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat and shake gently for about 1 minute until any remaining surface moisture has evaporated.
