• 3 pounds (about 6 medium-sized) sweet potatoes
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice

Method

1. Set a large pot of water on the stove to boil
2. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into chunks
3. Place a large colander in the sink
4. When the water comes to a boil, add the sweet potatoes and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are quite soft and a fork can be easily inserted into them
5. Drain them well in the colander, and transfer them to a large bowl
6. Add the salt, brown sugar, and lemon or lime juice, and mash until smooth
7. A hand-held electric mixer at medium speed or a regular old potato masher works equally well for this
8. Serve right away, or refrigerate and reheat
