Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Just wondering if anyone has a recipe they'd like to share? I've been on a sweet potato kick lately and picked some up at the store the other day. Thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I use a short cut.... I buy the pre-mashed container from the store (usually in the refrigerated section near the eggs and fresh hash browns). I usually add 2Tbsps of light brown sugar to sweeten and sometimes some chopped pecans to the top and bake for 20 minutes.

ETA: If I make it the long way, this is the recipe I use

Ingredients:

3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes, about 2 pounds
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
cinnamon, to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons half-and-half or milk
Preparation:

Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water until tender. Let cool slightly; peel. Mash with salt, butter, and maple syrup. Add cinnamon to taste then continue to mash with the milk or half-and-half to desired consistency.
Serves 4 to 6.

I just mash them up with some butter, a little bit of milk, cinnamon and brown sugar. Love them!

Re: Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I bake them, peel the skins off, and then mash them. I usually put butter, pure maple syrup, and cinnamon.

My FIL made them last thanksgiving. He used maple syrup and that fake butter (he had a heart attack) and they were I keep asking him to make them again, but he hasn't yet....
