Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

3 pounds sweet potatoes
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup Marsala Cooking Wine
6 tbs butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Grated peel of 1 orange
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup whipped cream (optional)
Toasted pecan pieces

Fill a pot halfway with water. Peel each potato and place in pot. Cut potatoes into 1" cubes and return to pot. Drain water so there is enough just to cover potatoes. Stir in salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Boil 10 min. or until potatoes are soft.

2.) In a small microwaveable bowl, heat wine in microwave 1 min. on medium power or until very hot. Stir in butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange peel. When potatoes are cooked, drain water from pot. Add wine mixture to pot. Whip until smooth. Stir in cream, if desired. Garnish with pecans, then serve.

MAKES 6 SERVINGS OF WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES.
