Amazingly easy and delicious! I'm going to bake my sweet potatoes from now on instead of boiling. Baking causes water to evaporate, leaving an intensely sweet and flavorful potato. Absolutely no sugar needed. In the past, I've boiled my sweet potatoes, which made them lose a lot of their flavor. Pureeing in a food processor gave them a creamy and airy quality that I never got with mashing by hand. The only changes I made to make it healthier was to use fat free buttermilk, 1% milk, and half the butter. It was still unbelievably creamy with these substitutions. My husband, who doesn't care for sweet potatoes went back for thirds.

Like other people suggested, I lighted this up just a tad. I used I Can't believe it's not butter and I used 1/2 buttermilk and the other 1/2 Half & Half. I also added just a tiny bit of brown sugar.

The name of this recipe is perfect "Silky" -- it is truly a wonderful side. The only change I made was cutting the butter back to 3 tbs and it couldn't have been better!

I made this for Thanksgiving and thought that it was OK. My uncle really liked it, though. It was really creamy and looked pretty but I thought that there was something not quite right about the flavor. Perhaps I just don't care for the buttermilk in it. I actually thought the potatoes tasted better before I added all the stuff. It wasn't a complete failure, but I don't think I'll be making it again unless I decide to try it with all plain milk.

The recipe was so delicious, creamy and easy to make. It was only for my husband and I, so I used 4 small sweet potatoes, roasted them until their skin easily came off (about 35 minutes) threw in my food processor and added low fat milk (it was all I had on hand) and added a little butter, salt and pepper. I was so incredibly creamy and delicious!

This recipe was great. I made it the day before and reheated it in the oven. Might make it instead of mashed next year, as it's awfully similar in texture (but not taste).
