Ingredients
- 5 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unpacked light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup 1% milk
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp whipped butter
Instructions
- 1
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and fully cooked, mix them in a large bowl with milk, butter, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a masher or a blender to achieve a creamy consistency.
- 2
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish measuring 9 x 9 or 11 x 7 inches. Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, which should take approximately 20 minutes. If you’ve prepared this dish in advance and are baking it straight from the refrigerator, be sure to extend the baking time until the center is hot.
- 3
Set your broiler to preheat.
- 4
Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of brown sugar across the surface of the sweet potato mixture.
- 5
Position the dish about 6 inches under the broiler and broil until the sugar melts and turns golden caramelized, watching closely to prevent burning. This process will take roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
- 6
Allow the dish to rest for about 5 minutes so that the caramelized sugar can solidify.
