by Market Manager

A delicious combination of flavors.

Ingredients

4  Sweet Potatoes
Curry Powder to taste (a hot curry blend is recommended)
Cayenne to taste
Salt to taste
¼ cup Maple Syrup
2 T  Margarine or butter
3 T Brown Sugar (optional)


Directions

  1. Peel and slice sweet potatoes; place in casserole dish.
  2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe dish; stir in seasonings and syrup.
  3. Pour butter mix over sweet potato slices in a casserole dish.
  4. Microwave for 10-15 minutes or until soft.
  5. Mash with potato masher.
  6. If desired, sprinkle with brown sugar and finish in the oven to brown the top.
  7. If you’ve got the time or inclination, this dish is even better if you use sweet potatoes that have either been roasted in the oven or grilled. Using this method, reduce microwave time to 5 minutes or just until mixture is heated through.
