Whipped Candied Yams with Maple Cream
Ingredients
2 large orange-fleshed yams (about 2 pounds total), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
6 ounces plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and pour over enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and maple syrup. Mix until blended and smooth.
3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan or a food processor. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the maple-yogurt mixture, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon and mash with a fork or process in the food processor until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving bowl and top with remaining maple-yogurt mixture.
