Balsamic Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400F.

2. 2

   Prick potatoes, then place directly on rack in center of oven.

3. 3

   Place a piece of foil on rack below.

4. 4

   Bake until easily pierced with a knife tip, about 50 minutes.

5. 5

   Or microwave on high until easily pierced, about 25 minutes.

6. 6

   When cool enough to handle, peel, then pass through a food mill or ricer, or mash with a potato masher.

7. 7

   (I love my ricer so I go that way) Place milk, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.

8. 8

   Remove pan from heat and set on a heat-resistant surface.

9. 9

   Stir in mashed potatoes and 1 tablespoon vinegar.

10. 10

    Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and potatoes have a smooth consistency.

11. 11

    Taste and add more vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.

12. 12

    The advantage of doing this in a saucepan is that if potatoes have cooled a little, you can return pan to low heat and stir often until hot.
