Instructions

  1. Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are just fork tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of salted butter, onions and salt in a large nonstick pan. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, to avoid burning onions.
  3. When onions are light brown, add maple syrup and brown sugar, turn heat to medium, and stir onions until sugar is bubbly and sticky.
  4. Add vinegar and cook until completely evaporated.
  5. Pour onion mixture into a blender and allow to cool just slightly. Add heavy cream and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  6. Once potatoes are fork tender, drain well.
  7. Add cream mixture, mascarpone cheese and remaining butter to the potatoes.
  8. Place pot over low heat and mash potatoes until smooth and creamy.
  9. Season to taste with more salt and pepper as needed. This dish is great garnished with honey toasted pecans.
