How to Make Apricot Mashed Sweet Potatoes
- Peel and cube 2 pounds of sweet potatoes.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by about 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender (easily pierced with a fork), about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes well.
- Return the sweet potatoes to the pot.
- Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk (or cream for extra richness), 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup apricot preserves (or more, to taste).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a little more milk if the potatoes seem too dry.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
