Instructions
Add sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped into large chunks) to a pot on the stove with enough water to cover potatoes. Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender when punctured with a fork (approximately 10 to 15 minutes). Make sure those potatoes are well softened before moving to the next step. That's key to getting the creaminess we want!
Remove from heat and drain water from potatoes. Add milk. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk a little as a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
Stir in cinnamon and maple syrup.
Taste. Add more maple syrup if you want more sweetness.
