For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. Adjust the amount of butter and cream cheese to your liking for a creamier or richer consistency. Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooked before mashing for the best texture. If it's still firm, microwave for a few more minutes.
