Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until a knife slides in easily.

2. While the potatoes cook, pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until reduced by about half.

3. Drain the sweet potatoes well and return them to the warm pot over low heat for 1 minute to let excess moisture evaporate.

4. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth, then stir in the heavy cream and sour cream until fully combined.

5. Stir in the reduced apple cider and the ground toasted hazelnuts until evenly distributed throughout the mash.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir well, and serve warm.
