Pete Pham's (@pham_bot) Loaded Mashed Sweet Potatoes are just the right comfort food to hold you over until Thanksgiving.

Ready in no time, canned sweet potatoes serve as the muse for this recipe. Peter boils and then mashes them until they're as fluffy as cumulus clouds amidst a deep blue sky. Then, milk and sour cream are mixed in to create a smooth and creamy consistency.

And of course, no potato is complete without the fixin's! Bacon, shredded cheddar, and green onions are the best way to play up these sweet taters. Happy almost-Thanksgiving!
