Maple Whipped Sweet Potatoes – Whipped sweet potatoes mashed with pure maple syrup. Perfect for your Thanksgiving dinner or great side dish for any meal.
Sweet potatoes are a staple for Thanksgiving in my opinion. I like them in all sorts of ways too. Roasted, baked, candied, whipped. They’re all scrumptious.
This recipe is smooth and creamy. It goes down so easy. It’s different than what I traditionally serve on Thanksgiving but it’s oh so good.
I don’t know about you but I love when we’re approaching Thanksgiving. It’s so fun just to think about all the scrumptious food you’ll devour. I came up with a few thoughts.
A. It’s 2 weeks away. Why the heck am I already tasting the stuffing and smelling the turkey?
B. I’ll never be able to eat everything I’ve been dreaming about anyway. I always get to full for seconds of everything.
C. The meal is over in 30 minutes and I just dreamed about for the last month. *Sigh*.
Crazy, right? But oh, so worth it!
It’s right around the corner. Do you have your menu planned?
Blessings,
Melanie

I love sweet potatoes but I’ve never had them whipped. I love the idea! Oh my gosh, you’ve gotten my stomach in the mood for all the traditional turkey day foods…better drag out the sweat pants. 😉
Thanks Tina! Let me know if you give em a try. 🙂
What a lovely texture! I usually don’t get too into spicing my sweet potatoes, but this sounds delicious.
Spicing em up is the way to go. 🙂

Hi, this looks delicious. How many people does the recipe serve? And can it be made a day ahead of a dinner?
This serves about 10-12 side dish servings. I’ver never particularly tried this recipe the day before. It seems like it would be ok though. Maybe just trying fluffing it up again with a little extra butter right after warming and just before serving.
Good luck Mary! Thanks for stopping by!
