I like to do a curried sweet potato dish. First peel, chop and boil
your sweet potatoes (approximately 1/4 per every person). Drain, and
mash. Add 1/2 stick butter (approximately 4 T) per every two whole
sweet potatoes, and a tablespoon curry powder per every one whole sweet
potato used. I like to use the Penzey's sweet curry powder - it's a
little different, somehow. At this point, I add some ginger, just for
kick, and you can, if you like, add some sweetening of some kind. I use
Splenda, but I imagine if you're not worried about sugars, that brown
sugar would work - do this to taste. Salt and pepper (using white
pepper if possible) to taste, and then spread in a casserole dish. Add
some chopped nuts, if desired, to the top, and broil for about 5
minutes, just to get it cohesive in the casserole.
