Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
1/2 cup salted butter
1/3 cup milk whole, 2%, or 1%
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Peel and cube the 3 to 4 pounds sweet potatoes.
Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well.
Transfer the hot, drained sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup salted butter, 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes on medium speed until light, fluffy, and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, use a potato masher or a potato ricer to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust salt, if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

Roasted Variation: Roasting sweet potatoes brings out a different flavor as the natural sugars caramelize during the roasting process. To roast sweet potatoes, wash and pierce each sweet potato 8 to 10 times with a fork. Place them on a lightly greased baking sheet and roast in a 400°F oven for about 1 hour, or until soft. Let cool slightly, then remove the peels and proceed with steps 3 and 4 in the main recipe.
