any awesome sweet potato recipes?

Question

i bought real maple syrup, i have every ingredient known to man for baking needs and i bought a 5lb. bag of sweet potatoes. i bought the maple syrup because i remember making this 7 yrs ago and it was in the recipe. but i forgot to research a recipe before going grocery shopping today! the store is a mad house btw and i was under pressure to try to remember what i put in it. ooo i also bought heavy cream....is that in the recipe aswell?

Answer 1

If it were me, I'd prepare the potatoes, put in about a cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of butter, a cup of heavy cream, and a good tsp of salt, a tbsp cinnamon and a tbsp good vanilla extract. I'd mash it all up together, put it in a baking pan, and save until you're ready to cook it. I'd reheat it at 350 degrees for 45 min, then cover with marshmallows and give it an additional 10 min at 400 degrees.

Kraft has a great recipe on their site, if you can find it--with cream cheese or neufachel and pecans on top.

I just bake them the old fashioned way- for an hour or so in a hot oven.
Scoop out the insides and you can add some salt, nutmeg, Cinnamon, butter and cream.Just mash with a fork.
You can add more butter and your maple syrup[ just a little to the top before baking it] and then bake till it looks yummy !
