Unknown






List of Ingredients



• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  
• 1 Tbsp butter
  
• 3 thin slices ginger, minced fine
  
• 2 Tbsp cream
  
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
  
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  






Instructions



1. Boil the peeled and diced sweet potatoes until they are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
   
   
2. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and ginger; saute slowly for one minute.
   
   
3. Add the syrup, brown sugar, and cream; cook slowly for 2 minutes, stirring. This mixture should caramelize and thicken a bit.
   
   
4. Add the sweet potatoes and mix; mash with a fork, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
   
   
5. If the mixture is too thick, a little milk or cream may be added. Add salt and pepper to taste; garnish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
