Delicious! Made them for Thanksgiving and my family loved them! Will definitely make again.
Thanksgiving? I thought this was just a regular recipe. What’s so special about sweet potatoes?
I’m glad to hear that! Sweet potatoes are the best for Thanksgiving. Did you add any toppings?
I don’t get how this is a recipe? Just boil potatoes and mash them. Seems pointless.
These mashed sweet potatoes are so good! I added cinnamon for a little twist and they were amazing!
Cinnamon in sweet potatoes? That’s interesting! I usually just do butter and salt. I’ll have to try it!
so easy to make!! I put cinnamon in mine for extra flavor. Yum! 😊
They didn’t taste like mashed potatoes… kinda disappointed. I prefer regular mash. ⭐⭐
Dis recipe is not rite! potatoes are not sweet, they need sugar!!! 😡
Tasty, but my kiddo said it looked gross. Kids, right? 😂🥔
Haha, kids do have the weirdest opinions! But mashed sweet potatoes are delicious! 😄
I forgot the pepper and they were still great! Will make again for Thanksgiving. 🦃
I was skeptical about sweet potatoes but this recipe changed my mind. Very good! 🍠👍
Mashed up some sweet potatoes, turned out good. Nice texture but a bit bland. Needs herbs! ⭐⭐⭐
These are the best mashed sweet potatoes I’ve ever made! So creamy and delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
