Mashed Sweet Potatoes (Lactose Free!)

I've had sweet potatoes while out to eat, and have always loved them.  While at the grocery store today, I decided to pick a couple up and try to make some mashed potatoes with them.  Since they're sweet, I figured it'd be easy to add ingredients that blended well with it.  Boy, was I right! These are sooo delicious. Definitely am going to be making these more often.



Ingredients
2-3 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and chopped
1-2 cups of packed Light Brown Sugar
2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon (or more, I didn't measure, I just dashed it in!)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (it's a strong spice, so you only need a little)
4 tablespoons Earth Balance buttery spread
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Peel, and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes.   Wash well.



2. In a large pot, combine the potatoes, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.


3. Add just enough water to barely cover the potatoes.  Partially cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.



4. Drain, add potatoes to a large bowl.

5. Melt butter over medium-high heat.  Stir in cinnamon and salt.


6. Pour mixture over the potatoes, mash to desired consistency.



7.  Enjoy the yummy goodness!!
