• 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into one-inch pieces
  
• 1/4 cup whole milk


• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger


• 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until tender. Combine milk, ginger, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Drain the potatoes, return to the pan, add the milk mixture, and beat with a potato masher or handheld mixer until smooth. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Makes five servings.
