-
Preheat the oven to 350.
-
Peel and quarter the sweet potatoes and place them in a roasting pan.
-
Place the diced butter evenly on top of the potatoes, sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg on top, drizzle with the honey, and season them with salt and pepper.
-
Gently pour about 2 cups of water into the pan (without washing anything off the potatoes).
-
Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are very tender.
-
(You could cook at 400 for about 60 minutes too, depending on your time available).
-
Remove the cover, stir and cook for 30 minutes more.
-
The potatoes should have a dark brown color on top and be very tender.
-
Remove the potatoes and place in a mixer, or mash by hand.
-
Adjust seasoning to your taste- add more cinnamon, honey etc.
-
to fit your meal.
-
Also, you can choose the desired lumpiness.
-
I like them rather lumpy, but some like them smooth, like whipped topping.
-
Up to you!
