• 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2″ pieces
• 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 Tbsp butter
• salt
• pepper

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Salt the water generously. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Drain the water and return sweet potatoes to the pot. Add the maple syrup, sour cream , and butter. Mash and mix until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
