Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1. Set a steamer basket in a large saucepan. 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, 15-25 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan.

2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup half and half, 3 T butter, and 2 T light-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. Makes 3 cups.
