EASY MAPLE MASHED SWEET POTATOES
The addition of maple syrup makes these pleasently different. This dish was always popular when I catered holiday dinners. I put a small amount of syrup here but you may certainly add more if you like. I have also cut it down as I doubt that very many folks will be having 100 at their table *wink*. Prep time is actually the mixing time after the potatoes have been baked. Also this can be made the day before and gently reheated (covered) before serving. **EDIT** After several reviewers commenting that the maple flavor is faint I have upped the maple syrup content on Jan 18 "07, please feel free to add more after tasting it if you would like to.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND BROWN BUTTER
This recipe is a grown-up take on sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows. A generous swirl of browned butter and maple syrup give the potatoes an earthy sweetness and great depth of flavor, while salted, toasted pecans sprinkled on top add a savory crunch. To save time on Thanksgiving, toast the pecans and make the brown butter up to a day in advance. Simply store the pecans in an airtight container, and the brown butter in the refrigerator. (Gently melt the butter in the microwave before using.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, toast the pecans (optional): Place the pecans in a medium sauté pan. Cook over medium-low heat, tossing often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Transfer to a cutting board, and roughly chop. Sprinkle generously with salt, and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, watching carefully and stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until brown bits appear and the butter gives off a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately. Carefully pour the melted butter into a small heatproof bowl, scraping the pan with a spatula to get all of the brown bits. Set aside.
- Drain the cooked potatoes, and add them to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper and mix on medium-low speed until the potatoes are creamy and smooth. Add the reserved brown butter and mix until just incorporated.
- Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the reserved pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm. (The potatoes may be kept warm, covered, in a low oven for up to 30 minutes. Add the pecans just before serving.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prick each potato twice with a fork and bake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan in lower third of oven until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove and cool slightly.
- Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out warm flesh into a large bowl. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or, for a smoother purée, force through a potato ricer. Stir in butter, cream, syrup, salt, and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have cuts or bruises.
- Bake the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will ensure that they are soft and easy to mash. Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth, lump-free puree. If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, you can mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher, but it will take a little longer.
- Add the maple syrup, butter, and spices to taste: Start with a small amount of each and add more until you reach the desired flavor. You can also add other ingredients, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows, to your mashed sweet potatoes.
- Serve the mashed sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed while they are still warm and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Maple mashed sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
