Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Pounds (lb) sweet potatoes, peeled
• 0.25 Cups toasted hazelnuts, ground
• 0.5 Cups heavy cream
• 0.25 Cups sour cream
• 0.25 Cups apple cider
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow them to steam dry for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.
2. Return the sweet potatoes to the pot and mash them until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, use a potato ricer or food mill.
3. Stir in the toasted, ground hazelnuts, heavy cream, sour cream, and apple cider. Mix until well combined and the mash is smooth and creamy.
4. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed to balance the sweetness and nuttiness.
5. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of additional ground hazelnuts or a drizzle of apple cider for an elegant touch.
