Mashed Maple Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup
• 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup half-and-half, light cream, or milk

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan cook potatoes, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 30 to 35 minutes or until very tender; drain. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed.

2. Add maple syrup, margarine or butter, and salt. Gradually beat in enough half-and-half, light cream, or milk to make potato mixture light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon potato mixture onto serving plates.

Makes 6 side-dish servings.
