Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
0.75 cup warm 2% milk, or as needed
0.75 cup maple syrup, or to taste
0.5 cup softened butter, cut into chunks

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well and transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Mash the cooked sweet potatoes using a potato masher until they are mostly smooth with few lumps.
Slowly stir in the warm milk, adding gradually until the mashed sweet potatoes reach your preferred consistency.
Stir in the maple syrup and butter until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
