mashed sweet potatoes.

This is an easy, healthy, and delicious recipe for mashed sweet potatoes.  I made these just recently and they complimented roast chicken and salad perfectly.

Give them a try...
Ingredients:
About 4 large (3-4 pounds) sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and chopped into chunks
1-6 ounce container of nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1-2 tbsp raw agave, molasses, or honey (optional)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
Salt and pepper (I did about 2 grinds of black pepper and 1 grind of sea salt)
Directions: 
Cook potatoes in a large pot with boiling water. Boil potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Once tender, remove 1/4 cup of potato water and put aside, drain the remaining potato water.  Add the yogurt, agave or other sweetener, chili powder, cinnamon, and vanilla.  Begin mashing and add the reserved potato water until desired consistency is achieved.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
