This recipe requires cooked, mashed sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be prepared a number of ways prior to mashing. To steam them, which is a great way to cook them with little nutrient loss, place unpeeled or peeled whole or cut up potatoes in your steaming basket and steam for 30 minutes over boiling water. To draw out the natural sugars and add a little flavor, try baking them. You can bake the potatoes in their skins, just give them a good wash at the time of cooking, trim off both ends and roast in a preheated 400 degree F. oven for 45 minutes to an hour. Sweet potatoes can also be cooked in the microwave, simply wrap in plastic wrap and cook about 15 minutes or until soft.
