Maple Syrup Sweet Potatoes

My family loves sweet potatoes any time of the year. This recipe is an easy one to prepare on a weekday for the family, or can easily be made in advance and reheated if you wanted to serve it when inviting guests on the weekend. The potatoes are mashed in the pan, the rest of the ingredients are stirred in, and the dish is ready to serve.

Recipe:

2-1/4 cups mashed Red Garnet sweet potatoes (approx. 1-1/2 lbs.)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or to taste
dash ground white pepper
Salt to taste

1. Boil peeled and cubed potatoes in lightly salted water until they are fork tender. Drain and mash.
2. Add butter, sugar, nutmeg, syrup and white pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serves 4-5
