Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes 2 or 3 times with a fork. Put on a baking sheet and roast until very tender and a knife easily pierces through the center, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly and then halve lengthwise. Holding the sweet potatoes with a potholder or towel, scoop out the insides and discard the skins. Pass the potatoes through a food mill or ricer into a large bowl.
- Heat the butter, maple syrup and zest in a small skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Pour over the potatoes and stir to combine evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE SYRUP
I created these candied sweet potatoes with maple syrup to entice my young children to eat sweet potatoes. They didn't like them plain and none of us liked recipes using marshmallows, pineapple, etc. This slightly-sweet version fit the bill. The kids are grown-up now, but still request this be served every Thanksgiving.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND BROWN BUTTER
This recipe is a grown-up take on sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows. A generous swirl of browned butter and maple syrup give the potatoes an earthy sweetness and great depth of flavor, while salted, toasted pecans sprinkled on top add a savory crunch. To save time on Thanksgiving, toast the pecans and make the brown butter up to a day in advance. Simply store the pecans in an airtight container, and the brown butter in the refrigerator. (Gently melt the butter in the microwave before using.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, toast the pecans (optional): Place the pecans in a medium sauté pan. Cook over medium-low heat, tossing often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Transfer to a cutting board, and roughly chop. Sprinkle generously with salt, and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, watching carefully and stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula, until brown bits appear and the butter gives off a nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately. Carefully pour the melted butter into a small heatproof bowl, scraping the pan with a spatula to get all of the brown bits. Set aside.
- Drain the cooked potatoes, and add them to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper and mix on medium-low speed until the potatoes are creamy and smooth. Add the reserved brown butter and mix until just incorporated.
- Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving bowl, sprinkle with the reserved pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm. (The potatoes may be kept warm, covered, in a low oven for up to 30 minutes. Add the pecans just before serving.)

EASY MAPLE MASHED SWEET POTATOES
The addition of maple syrup makes these pleasently different. This dish was always popular when I catered holiday dinners. I put a small amount of syrup here but you may certainly add more if you like. I have also cut it down as I doubt that very many folks will be having 100 at their table *wink*. Prep time is actually the mixing time after the potatoes have been baked. Also this can be made the day before and gently reheated (covered) before serving. **EDIT** After several reviewers commenting that the maple flavor is faint I have upped the maple syrup content on Jan 18 "07, please feel free to add more after tasting it if you would like to.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 375°.
- Bake potatoes until soft, 35 - 40 minutes for medium potatoes, 1 hour for large.
- Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl; whisk until smooth.
- When potatoes are tender, remove from oven, slice in half, and remove centers of potatoes.
- Mash and add maple syrup mixture.
- Taste for seasoning and transfer to a warm serving bowl.
Tips:
- For creamy mashed sweet potatoes, use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes. This will help to remove any lumps and create a smooth, velvety texture.
- If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth and lump-free.
- To add a touch of sweetness to the mashed sweet potatoes, add a little maple syrup or brown sugar. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, fall flavor.
- If you are making the mashed sweet potatoes ahead of time, be sure to reheat them gently over low heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
Mashed sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy choice for your family. With these tips, you can easily make the perfect mashed sweet potatoes every time.
