Super Yummy Sweet Potatoes

If your kids are like mine, they aren't much of veggie eaters. Adam will eat almost anything, but Wyatt has a veggie detector and won't eat them without disguising them somehow. Well this is a go to recipe for Mashed Sweet Potatoes that leaves my boys asking for 2nds.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1/2 stick butter
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 orange, zested and juiced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• Salt and pepper

Directions

Boil potatoes until tender, drain and reserve. Return the pot to the stove top over medium heat. Add butter and bananas to the pot. Cook bananas 5 minutes and add the juice of 1 orange to the pot, reserve the zest. Allow the juice to cook out, 1 minute. Add potatoes to the pot and the stock and sugar. Mash potatoes, banana, stock and sugar together until well combined. Season with nutmeg, salt, pepper and orange zest, to your taste. Mash to combine spices and serve.

I don't add the salt and pepper but I leave it out in case somebody wants it. I also put a dab of butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar on the finished product. These potatoes are great to go along with any holiday dinner or just for a side dish during the week. It is quick, easy, and can also go great with Pork, as shown here. So yummy, enjoy!
