Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200C. Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Wrap individually in foil. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hr or until tender. Set aside to cool for 15 mins. Carefully unwrap foil. Cut in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and place in a large bowl. Discard skin.
Step 2
Place the butter, cream and thyme in a microwave-safe jug. Microwave on high for 1 min or until butter has melted. Strain mixture over the sweet potato. Add the maple syrup and mash until smooth. Season. Serve the mash drizzled with extra butter.
