Rezept

Vegetables

Zutaten:

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

Arbeitsschritte:

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.
