Ingredients
  • 4 pound sweet potatoes or yams, (4 to 6 yams or about 12 sweet potatoes) peeled and cut into 1- to 1½-inch chunks
  • ¼ stick butter
  • 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ to ½ cup light cream cheese, as needed to achieve desired consistency
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. To steam the potatoes, place them in a single layer on a rack placed over a large shallow pan of water with a large pot lid to cover. Cook over medium high-heat until tender. Replenish the water in the pan if it boils off before they are tender.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash by hand with a masher. Then, using a beater, whip in the maple syrup, honey, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and enough cream cheese to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
