Ingredients

8 servings

4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 potatoes)
4 teaspoons salt (divided)
½ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder ((reduce to 1/4 teaspoon if sensitive to spice; increase to 3/4 to 1 teaspoon for more of a kick))
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅓ cup whole milk plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (diced)
Chopped fresh thyme

Steps

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large saucepan and cover with cool water so that the water covers the potatoes by 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Continue simmering, adjusting the heat as needed, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes to the pot.
Add the half and half and chipotle chile powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining 3 teaspoons salt.
Mash to your desired consistency.
Immediately add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and butter. Stir until evenly combined. Taste and adjust spices and salt as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with thyme. Enjoy warm.
