Pumpkin Pie Spice Whipped Sweet Potatoes
These pumpkin pie spice whipped sweet potatoes are smooth, creamy, and full of cozy fall flavor. Made with real sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie seasoning, this easy side dish is perfect for fall dinners or holiday meals. Ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons milk, or your preferred milk alternative
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- salt and pepper
- fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or sage)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the rack in the center.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Cut in half lengthwise.
- Place the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Then flip them cut side down.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, or until tender. They’re done when a knife slides in easily. (For steaming and boiling the potatoes, see notes below.)
- Let the potatoes cool slightly, then scoop the flesh into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Whip by hand or in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Add the butter, milk, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon into a baking or serving dish and top with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
Notes
To Steam the Potatoes
- Place a steamer basket in a large pot. Add some water to the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the bottom of the steamer basket when it's inserted.
- Add the potatoes and cover.
- Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer.
- Steam the sweet potatoes for about 10-20 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your sweet potato pieces. They are done when they can be easily pierced with a fork or knife.
- When tender, drain the water.
- Store your mashed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- You can also freeze them in small portions for a month or two. Defrost as needed.
