Maple Sweet PotatoesIngredients

  • 2 pounds (approx. 3) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon grain mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Procedure

Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender.  Drain, and return to the dry hot pot to remove extra moisture.

Meanwhile, heat the butter and half and half in a small sauce pot.

Press the sweet potatoes through a ricer and into their original pot.  Stir in the hot butter and half and half mixture, along with the maple syrup and mustard.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
