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!
