Chef Louis DiBiccari’s Maple White Sweet Potato Purée

It was a happy accident. Chef Louis DiBiccari received a case of white sweet potatoes a couple of a years ago, but found out they were more velvety and had more body than their orange-fleshed cousins. This dish pairs perfectly with chicken, duck, game birds, pork chops, and lamb shank.

Starchier than their better-known orange cousins, white sweet potatoes make velvety puree. Accented with smoked maple, walnuts and breadcrumbs, the dish pairs perfectly with hearty winter entrees.

  • 6 white sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup brown butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream

1. Roast potatoes in preheated 350-degree oven for 2 hours. Remove skins from potatoes.
2. Place potatoes in food processor and purée with maple, brown butter, and cream till very smooth. Season with salt to taste.
