These creamy sweet potatoes with brown sugar are perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Simple ingredients and crispy bacon make them extra special.
Boil sweet potatoes in salted water with black pepper until fork-tender (10–15 mins). Drain well.
Mash potatoes with a hand masher or whip with a mixer. Gradually add warm milk, whipping until creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cook bacon with brown sugar until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Top potatoes with bacon, parsley, thyme, or rosemary. Serve hot with butter.
