Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

4 T unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 T heavy cream
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 t sugar
2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

Combine butter, 2 T cream, 1/2 t salt, 1/4 t pepper, sugar and sweet potatoes in large saucepan. Cook, covered or low heat until potatoes are fall-apart tender, 35-40 minutes.

Off heat, add remaining T cream and mash sweet potaotes with potato masher. Leave them a little chunky.

FYI, I use my dutch oven and it doesn't take the full time to cook the potatoes.
