Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- When onions are light brown, add maple syrup and brown sugar, turn heat to medium, and stir onions until sugar is bubbly and sticky.
- Add vinegar and cook until completely evaporated.
- Pour onion mixture into a blender and allow to cool just slightly. Add heavy cream and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Once potatoes are fork tender, drain well.
- Add cream mixture, mascarpone cheese and remaining butter to the potatoes.
- Place pot over low heat and mash potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper as needed. This dish is great garnished with honey toasted pecans.
