A mashed sweet potato recipe to make your heart sing

I love experimental cooking. That’s why this recipe makes me so happy. It is nearly impossible to mess up. Plus, there are tons of variations you can use to make it your own.

For me, adding in cayenne pepper helps find the contrast between the sweet and spicy flavors. It is a glorious combination. But if staying sweet is your thing, adding in cinnamon and nutmeg is so warm and comforting. Plus, sweet potatoes are full of beta-carotene, which gives sweet potatoes their orange coloring and makes them so good for your eyes and skin!
