Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

5 pounds sweet potatoes

6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (3/4 stick)

1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon water

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon salt plus salt -- to taste

freshly ground pepper -- to taste

1/2 cup chopped green onions -- green portion only

 

Preheat an oven to 375°F.

 

With the tines of a fork, prick each potato a couple of times and arrange

potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake, turning occasionally, until potatoes are

tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 hours. Alternatively, peel the

potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

over high heat, add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain

potatoes and put in a large mixing bowl.

 

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown

sugar, water, ginger, the 1 tsp. salt and pepper and stir to mix. Cook, stirring

occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the liquid thickens, about 2

minutes. Keep warm.

 

If potatoes were roasted, cool them slightly, then remove the skins. Cut

potatoes into large chunks and put in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric

hand mixer, whip the potatoes on medium-high speed until smooth and lump-free, 3

to 4 minutes. Add the glaze and whip until just blended. Adjust seasonings with

salt and pepper, transfer potatoes to a warmed serving bowl and garnish with the

green onions.
