Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2 Scrub potatoes and prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly.

3 Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a hand masher or electric beater (do not use a food processor). Add non-dairy milk, maple syrup and seasonings. Mix well.

Hint: These may be prepared a day or two ahead of time and refrigerated. Reheat in a microwave before serving. These may also be peeled and cooked in water on the stovetop. Drain off cooking water and mash as directed above.
