Notes
- Don't have a hand held mixer, you can use a potato masher, stand mixer or food processor.
- I recommend baking or air frying the sweet potatoes because it really brings out the naturally sweet flavor of the potato.
- Baking time might vary depending on the size of the sweet potato. If they are smaller, I recommend checking them at 30 minutes.
- Don't want to heat up the oven? Try cooking the sweet potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.
- To make them super creamy, add a little extra heavy cream and whip for several 3-4 minutes.
