Ingredients

2 Large sweet potatoes peeled, cubed
1 cup Heavy cream
2 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Salted butter
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Sea salt
¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions

Boil the sweet potatoes - Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water. The potatoes should mash easily with a fork. You will want to cook the potatoes until they seem overcooked.
Heat the cream - While the potatoes are boiling, heat the cream, sugar, butter and spices in a small sauce pan, over medium-low heat. The cream does not need to come to a boil.
Mash the potatoes - Once the potatoes are boiled, drain and return to the same pot. Let the potatoes sit for 1-2 minutes to let any leftover water evaporate. Mash the potatoes roughly with a potato masher. Once the potatoes are halfway mashed, add half of the cream mixture. Mash again until the potatoes are smooth. Add the remaining cream mixture, and stir the potatoes until combined.

Notes

Boil the potatoes in cold water - Do not put the potatoes into already-boiling water. Instead, put the potatoes in the pot of cold water, and then turn the heat on. This ensures that the potatoes cook evenly from the outside to the centre, instead of soft exteriors and crunchy interiors.
