Sweet potatoes are good tasting and healthy but for some reason, I don’t put them on the menu except during the holiday season. Thanksgiving is less than a month away so I decided it was a good time to post this Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe.
This recipe is a great side dish for any time of the year, it’s simple to put together, requires very little prep time, and cooks fairly quickly.
If you’re looking for a change from the traditional candied sweet potatoes recipe give this Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe a try. Enjoy-adapted from Cook’s Country Magazine.
