Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Makes 3 cups.

1) Set a steamer basket in a large sauce-pan. Fill with enough water to come just below basket; bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

Peel 2 medium sweet potatoes; and cut into 2-inch chunks.

Place in steamer basket, and cover; steam until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, and return to saucespan.

2) Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup 1/2 and 1/2, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 T brown sugar to a simmer, stirring to combine; remove from heat.

Add to drained sweet potatoes, and mash just until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
