  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsleyoptional

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork.
    • Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the sweet potatoes on the pan.
    • Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Let cool slightly then peel off the skins, or cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides.
    • Place the potato, milk, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a coarser texture, you can mash your potatoes by hand with a masher or fork.
    • See post text for different flavor variation options.
    • Serve, topped with pats of butter and/or parsley if desired.
