Would you put sour cream in mashed SWEET potatoes?

I'm considering this recipe:

I usually make sweeter sweet potatoes (with maple syrup) so I'm not sure. But I wanted to branch out.

Hmm. I think I would. I have made sweet potatoes the same way you'd have a baked potato, with sour cream and bacon, and it was delightful.

I was in my “no white carb” phase. Really, it was good.

I’ve made them with cream, so sure why not. The balance would be nice. I don’t know why we have to make them sweeter.

Yes. I make mine savory with adobo sauce and I think sour cream would be an amazing addition !

Sweet potato fries are delicious dipped in sour cream, so I’m going to say yes.

Not typically, but I'd be open to something new and try it in a recipe, yes.

ok, I'm hungry now. Can I have some?

Same. We do vegetarian chili over baked sweet potato boats. Sour cream would probably make them over the top.

I'm not really a big fan of the maple syrup with sweet potatoes.

I'd probably love this version.

We will frequently bake a sweet potato, slather it up with butter. It's like dessert beside your chicken/steak.

Lordy, I wouldn't even put sour cream in regular potatoes.

Yes!!!! I only like sweet potatoes with something savory to cut the sweetness. I usually use full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt, but sour cream would be equally delicious.

The one time I hosted Thanksgiving, I knew I had to serve sweet potatoes, but I despise the traditional candied sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. I found, instead, a recipe for mashed sweet potatoes with sour cream and chives. They were the best sweet potatoes I’ve had, but that’s admittedly a low bar. Turns out my father-in-law felt similarly.

It would definitely work depending on how you season it.
