Divine Sweet Potato Mash

 
Kid-tested...Taste-tested...This side dish scored high marks!!

Ingredients:

5 small roasted Sweet Potatoes, with skin

4 Tablespoons of raw Agave syrup

1/4 teaspoon of grated orange peel

1/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon of ground Cloves

1/4 cup of Pecans or Walnuts, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven for 425*F. 

Using either the oven or the microwave, cook whole sweet potatoes until they are tender. Cut the end of the cooked potatoes open with a knife and squeeze out the warm, soft meat. Mash them in a bowl.

In a large saucepan , heat agave and all spices. Pour the sauce over the mashed sweet potatoes and mix thoroughly. Place sweet potato mash into a baking dish, and sprinkle with the chopped nuts and a pinch more cinnamon. Bake for 10 minutes or until you can smell the nuts and potatoes.

Whatever you do, please don't hide this incredible side under a mountain of marshmallows. There is no processed sugars in the recipe above, and it would be a shame to ruin a good thing. (wink!)
