Quick and flavorful, these sweet potatoes go great with pork or ham, and I like them with lamb, too. A little maple syrup jand orange juice jazz up these mashed sweet potatoes.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 to 3 pounds sweet potatoes
1/4 cup maple syrup, dark or grade B if possible
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons butter

PREPARATION:

Cut sweet potatoes into large chunks. Steam or boil until tender; drain and peel. Put the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and add the maple syrup, salt, pepper, orange juice, and butter. Mash or beat until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serves 6.
