We were inspired by this dish from Harry & David to whip our own version of amaretto mashed sweet potatoes, a sophisticated take on the classic.

This dish can be made in advance without adding the garnish; reheated in the microwave, garnished and served.

If you like a touch of color and a bit more flavor complexity, some add minced parsley.

Preparation

Ingredients For 6 Servings

2-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons Amaretto (almond liqueur) or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A few dashes ground ginger, to taste

A few dashes salt, or to taste

Ground pepper, to taste

Optional garnish: 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds or candied pecans

Optional garnish: fresh parsley, minced

Mashed with cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. Photo courtesy Harry & David.
