Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 15 mins


• preheat an oven to 325 degrees f (165 degrees c). grease a 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
• place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. drain and allow to steam dry until cool enough to handle.
• meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. chop the bacon coarsely; set aside.
• slip the skins off the potatoes and discard; blend the potatoes in an electric blender or food processor until smooth. stir in the butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream, and milk. mix well; season to taste with salt and pepper. spread the potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
• bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 18 minutes. remove from the oven; sprinkle the potatoes with the bacon. return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
