Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Whoever said sweet potatoes were just for Thanksgiving is crazy. These delicious spuds are packed full of nutrients and oh-so tasty. Not only are they easy to cook, but the orange pop of color on the plate feels like a special treat.

2-4 sweet potatoes (also called yams)
Coconut Oil (bring from home - also delicious on toast!)
Cinnamon (bring from home)

Peel sweet potatoes and chop in 1 inch pieces.

Place sweet potatoes in microwavable bowl and add water to cover.

Cook uncovered in microwave until tender (depending on how much you in the bowl, this can take 10-20 minutes).

Use caution when removing the bowl from the microwave - it's going to be hot!

Drain sweet potatoes from the water.

Mash sweet potatoes with coconut oil (1 tsp per medium size sweet potato is a good ratio - but by all means modify for your taste buds).

Sprinkle cinnamon over the mashed sweet potatoes.

Eat and enjoy!
