Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until softened, 1-1/2 hours, depending on size; let cool.
  3. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into a saucepan and discard the skins. Add the maple syrup (to taste), butter and sour cream. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, mix until smooth. Season with the salt and nutmeg.
  4. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
