Mashed Sweet Potatos


This is a new take on an old favorite. If you usually do not like sweet potatoes, try this recipe. They are not the normally sweet with brown sugar and cinnamon. These are kinda smokey and savory that are pretty good.

2 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
1 tbsp chili powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt to taste
2 tbsp. butter
little garlic powder

Steam the sweet potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender. remove the steamer basket and water from the pot and put the sweet potatoes back in. Put butter on top first to let the heat from potatoes melt the butter. Add the spices and mix with a potato masher or fork (I think I heard somewhere that if you use a hand mixer then the sweet potatoes lose their texture or become chewy. I do not swear on this though.) Give them a taste and see what you think, you can always add more of anything you want.
