Instructions for Mashed Sweet Potatoes

The Cook & Kitchen Staff are offering you four different Thanksgiving Day Dinner menus during November, and were in the middle of the side dishes in our final recipe collection featuring a "Thanksgiving Day Dinner on the Farm." Thanksgiving is a time of tradition, and with tradition come expectations. When you elect to prepare a holiday feast as presented on many a farm table, freshly harvested and mashed sweet potatoes are a necessity. If youve ever wondered why Grandmas sweet potatoes always tasted so good with seemingly next to nothing in them, make sure to prepare todays recipe with just a splash of dark rum, and enjoy one of Grandmas best-kept kitchen secrets at your holiday dinner table. In large saucepan, place potatoes in just enough lightly salted water to cover. Heat to boiling over high-heat setting, then reduce to medium; cover and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well. Return potatoes to saucepan. Mash a bit with a potato masher. Add the butter, brown sugar, salt, orange peel, black pepper, and bourbon or rum, if desired. Thoroughly mash potatoes until mixture is well blended. You may elect to use a hand-held electric mixer rather than a potato masher for extra fluffy sweet potatoes and ease of blending. Spoon mashed sweet potatoes into serving bowl and garnish with orange slices, if so desired. Serve warm.
