Sweet Potatoes

I am by no means an expert chef.  But I have spent a bit of time in the kitchen.
I guess it started in Jr. High when I got up before my Mom and taught myself how to make pancakes.  (Side note, in my office chair I just rolled over an envelope lined with bubble wrap that had fallen to the floor.  Makes a very cool sound.  Anyway, back to the story.)

I am at times referred to as the Kitchen Commander and Chef.  I sort of came up with this recipe on my own after much trial and error.  (Second side note, no trial this week.  Jury duty got called off.  I’m back on jury duty call next week.) So this is what I came up with.  If you like sweet potatoes you should like this.  If you don’t like sweet potatoes, get over it, they are good for you.

So here it is.

Mix together all ingredients:

40 oz can of sweet potatoes (drain the liquid)

¼ cup milk

¼ cup (or slightly less) brown sugar

2 Tablespoons of butter (don’t use margarine, it will kill you)

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Microwave this until hot, use a hand mixer or power mixer until it’s mixed up good.  It kind of resembles a thick apple sauce texture at this point.  I like it like this but my son likes to add cool whip to the top.  We have a family of six and I double this recipe.  This is guaranteed to please your mouth and belly or your money back, minus a 15% restocking fee.
