Spicy Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I've been wanting to make this recipe for awhile.  It was super easy and came from the book: "Cook this, not that".  Sweet potatoes are healthier than other potatoes.  The recipe below makes 3 servings.


Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
cayenne pepper to taste

Directions:
1.  Place sweet potatoes in pot and fill with enough cold water to cover.  Add 1 tsp salt and bring to boil.  Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
2.  Drain water and mash up potatoes, add milk, butter, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper.  Enjoy!
