Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Peel sweet potatoes, cut into 1" pieces.
  • In a medium saucepan with a steamer basket steam for 16-20 minutes or until tender.
  • Pour into a medium saucepan or bowl. Add butter, milk, honey, cinnamon, and salt; mash with a potato masher until smooth.

Notes

Sweet potatoes can be boiled instead of steamed. Put chopped sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water about an inch over sweet potatoes. Boil until tender, approximately 12-15 minutes.
