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

Hi, this looks delicious. How many people does the recipe serve? And can it be made a day ahead of a dinner?
Melanie says
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!
