I love sweet potatoes but I don’t want them to taste like dessert, which is why I love this recipe. (Adapted from Emeril Lagasse ) These are warmly spiced and the texture is pure velvet.
***********************************
1. Bake 4 large sweet potatoes in a 350 degree oven until soft, about an hour.
2. Carefully peel potatoes while hot and put them a large bowl with 4 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)
3. Beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
4. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and an extra sprinkle of nutmeg.
