{ vanilla mashed sweet potatoes }

So much to be thankful for. Wish we could gather around the same table with the other half of our family across the ocean. We are thinking about you. (And would love to share these vanilla mashed sweet potatoes with you.) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone!

Ingredients (generously serves 4)

- 1 1/2 pounds (700 g) sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup (1.25 dl) cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or 1/3 vanilla bean
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
(- coarse salt & pepper)

Bake sweet potatoes at 350 F (175 C) for about an hour until soft to a fork tip. Let cool a bit and remove the skins. Puree using a stick blender or a food processor.

Pour cream into a sauce pan and add in vanilla. If you are using vanilla bean, cut it in half lengthwise. Heat over medium heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Discard the vanilla bean.

Pour the cream in with the sweet potato puree. Add in butter and run the blender until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.
