Instructions:
-
Begin by placing the sweet potatoes in a large pot and adding enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch.
-
-
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer gently until they are tender, which should take approximately 15 minutes.
-
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot.
-
Now, add in the remaining ingredients – butter, margarine, ground nutmeg, and milk.
-
Using a potato masher, mash the sweet potatoes and other ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in the apricot preserves, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed sweet potatoes.
-
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. If you feel the potatoes are too dry, you can add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
