Mashed Sweet Potatoes

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
3. Mash the potatoes with a fork, then add 3 tablespoons of the butter, the cream, vanilla, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Mix well, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
