Sweet Potato Puree With Maple - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 lbs sweet potatoes, unpeeled
1/4 - 1/2 cup maple syrup
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until softened, 1-1/2 hours, depending on size; let cool.
Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a saucepan and discard the skins. Add the maple syrup (to taste), butter and sour cream. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, mix until smooth. Season with the salt and nutmeg.
Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
