Whipped Sweet Potatoes

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & chopped in 1" cubes
3 tbsp butter
1/3 cup whole milk, plus extra if necessary (amount will vary as size of the potatoes vary)
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
juice from 1/2 a lemon

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water has reached a boil, add the sweet potato cubes. Boil potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. To test the done-ness, stab a potato with a butter knife - if the potato is easily pierced and slides right off, the potatoes are done.

While the potatoes are boiling, add the milk and butter to a bowl of a stand mixer or to a large mixing bowl.

Drain the potatoes than add them to the bowl with the milk and butter. If using a stand mixer or hand-beater, whip the potatoes at a medium-low speed until smooth and fluffy, adding more milk if necessary to acheive a smooth but moist texture. If using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding more milk as necessary.

Add lemon juice and a small pinch of salt and pepper to the potatoes. Stir to combine. Taste the potatoes. Adjust the seasoning as desired with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately. Goes great with proscuitto wrapped chicken and herbed creme fraiche. Enjoy!
