Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes about 6 medium, peeled and cut into 1” cubes
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Parisien Bonnes Herbes A blend of chives, dill weed, French basil, French tarragon, chervil and white pepper.
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened & more for garnish
Instructions
- Steam or boil the sweet potatoes until it is easy to slide a thin knife in and out, about 15 minutes.
- If boiling, drain the potatoes over a colander. If steaming, remove the potatoes and drain the water from the pot.
- Return the potatoes to the pot set over medium-low heat. Mash the potatoes for 20-30 seconds – just until excess liquid has cooked off. (This will remove any residual water in the pot and on the potatoes.) Remove the pot from the heat and mash the potatoes until a chunky consistency is achieved.
- Add the salt, black pepper, herbs, cream cheese and butter.
- Season to taste, if necessary and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
- Top the potatoes with a sprinkling of Parisien Bonnes Herbes and a couple of pats of softened butter. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
