Sweet Potato Mash

Here is my father's recipe for the best sweet potato mash ever. I think the number one mistake people make when cooking sweet potatoes is making them too sweet. It's a sweet potato! It's already sweet! So use nutmeg to highlight this tater's delicious nature rather than overpowering it.

Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes (any number)
Butter or substitute (I use Smart Balance)
Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375/400.
2. Take the sweet potatoes, wash them and poke them all over with a fork.
3. Place sweet potatoes on tin foil sheet and bake for 40-75 minutes until they feel soft and you can easily insert a fork.
4. Put them on a plate to cool.
5. Cut them in half and scoop the insides into a bowl. (The skin is actually the healthiest part, so I recommend drizziling it with a bit of olive oil and/or a little salt and pepper, and eating it as a snack on its own. If you like you can also cut up some pieces and add them to the mash).
6. Add nutmeg, butter, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of milk if desired. This recipe is really all about taste, so just go light on the spices at first and add them in until it tastes perfect to you.

Serve this as a part of a meal or keep it in the fridge, and use as a healthy snack. Mmm.
