Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark amber maple syrup, grade A or B
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake in a roasting pan for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Cut the potatoes in half, lengthwise. Hold the sweet potatoes with a potholder or towel and scoop out the potato flesh into a food mill or ricer.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, syrup, zest, and vinegar over medium heat. Remove from the heat and mash the sweet potatoes in the pan. Stir to combine evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I fixed the for friends along with the Broiled Tilapia with mustard-chive sauce (Giada De Laurentiis. One of the friends said this was his new favorite meal at my house! And I do have to point out he is a great cook. I did put the yams in my Vita-Mix as I do not have a ricer or food mill. They were pureed more than mashed. I put the Tilapia on top of the potatoes and then the sauce on the fish. It was very good and it will be going in my personal file for another day, soon.

I liked this recipe. Easy to make and I thought they were tasty. However, my husband and kids all hated it. None of them are picky eaters. My husband thought it tasted like an orange popsicle. I disagree, but I certainly won't be making this again!
