Ingredients
6
- 2+1/2 lb potatoes (or sweet potatoes peeled)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 15 oz canned pumpkin
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- minced fresh chives or parsley (optional)
- Additional maple syrup to drizzle
Instructions
- 1
Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil, turn to heat to medium-low and cook potatoes for 20 minutes or until you can easily pierce with a fork. Make sure when you cook the potatoes, that the water is a very low boil (a bubble burp every couple of seconds) - a big, rolling boil will make your potatoes mushy. Drain water.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Stir in the remaining ingredients to the mashed potatoes until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Drizzle with a bit more maple syrup just before serving.
