Sweet potatoes get all dressed up in this velvety, buttery, coffee-infused masterpiece. This isn’t your typical, overly sweet mash drowning in sugar. Instead, deep espresso notes balance the natural sweetness, making every bite ridiculously rich. The butter sauce coats each spoonful, adding smoothness with a hint of roasted coffee warmth. It’s comforting but with an unexpected twist—kind of like a hug from someone who also critiques your life choices. Forget the bland mashed potatoes you’ve suffered through before. This dish delivers bold flavor, silky texture, and just enough caffeine to make you question your life’s mashed potato decisions.
