What’s in Sweet Potato Mash
Sweet potatoes are made deliciously creamy with cream cheese and butter! Other than that, all you need is a little salt, pepper, and herbs to create the best flavor.
Sweet Potatoes: They’ll need to be peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes. Salt and Pepper: A little goes a long way! Also, keep in mind that freshly cracked black pepper will create the very best flavor. Parisien Bonnes Herbes: This is a mix of chives, dill weed, French basil, French tarragon, chervil, and white pepper. Cream Cheese: For the best thick and creamy consistency, use regular cream cheese (not low-fat). Butter: Unsalted and softened. Be sure to reserve some for topping.
Pro Tip: If you prefer, you can try this Instant Pot mashed sweet potato recipe instead. Both versions are delicious!
What herbs go with sweet potato mash?
To make this sweet potato mash recipe more on the savory side, I used Parisien Bonnes Herbes. This is a mix of chives, dill weed, French basil, French tarragon, chervil, and white pepper. This creates a great blend of flavor in these savory mashed sweet potatoes. Some other herbs and spices that would taste great in sweet potato mash are rosemary, oregano, and basil. Or you could lean more towards the sweet side by adding in brown sugar.
How to Store and Reheat
Once cooled to room temperature, you can store left over sweet potato mash in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time it stops, until warmed through.
