Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 5 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg or 1 pinch cinnamon
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400f.
• 2 prick potatoes, then place directly on rack in center of oven.
• 3 place a piece of foil on rack below.
• 4 bake until easily pierced with a knife tip, about 50 minutes.
• 5 or microwave on high until easily pierced, about 25 minutes.
• 6 when cool enough to handle, peel, then pass through a food mill or ricer, or mash with a potato masher.
• 7 (i love my ricer so i go that way) place milk, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.
• 8 remove pan from heat and set on a heat-resistant surface.
• 9 stir in mashed potatoes and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
• 10 stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and potatoes have a smooth consistency.
• 11 taste and add more vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
• 12 the advantage of doing this in a saucepan is that if potatoes have cooled a little, you can return pan to low heat and stir often until hot.
