These rich and creamy sweet potatoes with brown sugar are perfectly balanced—not too sweet. Topped with crumbly bacon, they’re a simple yet special treat!
Boil sweet potatoes in salted water with black pepper until fork-tender (10–15 mins). Drain well.
Mash potatoes with butter, then add warm milk in batches, whipping until creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
Cook bacon with brown sugar until crumbly. Drain on paper towels.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Top with bacon, parsley, thyme, or rosemary. Serve hot with butter.
