Ingredients

3 medium sweet potatoes (2 pounds), peeled and diced into 2-inch cubes
3 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoon pure maple syrup, preferably grade b
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated on a microplane
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
kosher salt, to taste

Directions

Place the potatoes in a small pot filled halfway with cool water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, then drain well.
Add the drained potatoes to a food processor with a metal blade attachment (for a super smooth texture) or large bowl (for a more rustic texture).
Process in the food processor or mash with a potato masher, then add the remaining ingredients and continue processing or mashing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
