Maple mashed sweet potatoes

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 teaspoon Grated orange peel; or more, to taste
4 Sweet potatoes; cooked, peeled and mashed (I like to whip mine in my electric mixer.)
2 tablespoons Butter; melted
3 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

The orange peel in this one may confuse you, but remember that the colonists had trade with the West Indies, and that is where they got their oranges. In the southern states this dish is still made the same way, though with molasses instead of "Yankee" maple syrup.

Mix the orange peel with the mashed potatoes and place the mixture in a greased baking dish. Mix the butter with the syrup and pour over the top.

Bake uncovered at 350ø for 25 minutes.
