Directions

1. Make the sweet potatoes Put potato pieces into a medium pot and cover with water; add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

2. Drain sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk or cream, butter, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the Sofra Molasses Cookie Sugar. Use a masher or handheld mixer to mash or purée the sweet potatoes until smooth. Taste and add more sea salt or molasses sugar as needed.

3. Add the topping Preheat the broiler with an oven rack set 6 inches from the heating element.

4. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to an 8”x8” or 9”x9” baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Sofra Molasses Cookie Sugar on top of the potatoes. Broil until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the sugar.

5. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle on the chopped pecans. Serve warm.
