Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then boil in a large pot of water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add maple syrup, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
