Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Print Friendly and PDF

Plain baked sweet potatoes are great; this way of preparing them is sublime. Serve with turkey dishes, along with cold apple or cranberry sauce.

Ingredients
4 medium-size sweet potatoes
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or herbs, for garnish
Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes two or three times with a fork. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the flesh is tender. Slit the skin to let the steam escape.

Heat the milk, butter, and maple syrup in a large skillet or saute pan; do not boil. Scoop the sweet potato flesh into the same pan, then mash mixture together with a potato masher. Mash in the lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste; the texture should be slightly lumpy but still mashed. Serve right from the pan or transfer to a serving dish. Dust the top with cinnamon or nutmeg, and serve at once.

For those of us who eat KETO, it would be very helpful if you would give the calories, carbs, fat, sugar, etc. content of your recipes. It would be very helpful if they were given no matter what diet you eat. By the way, I am going to be trying this recipe. It sounds delicious.
