Ingredients: Peeled sweet potato 2/3 c milk (heated) 1/4 tsp allspice salt, pepper
Cooking Instructions: Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 inch slices and boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash. Add milk and seasonings. Work the mixture as little as possible. Add more milk if they seem dry. Serving Suggestions: Sweet potatoes make a great savory side dish. I like to add chopped bacon on occasion. A dish I often make is a Turkey Scaloppini with a Portobello demi-glaze. Your options are endless. Additional Comments: Sweet potatoes have beige skin and pale yellow meat. Yams have purplish skin and bright orange meat. I have seen them mislabeled in stores. They vary in size so for portion sake let's use the equalivalent of 2 large baked potatoes.
