Simple Maple Sweet Potatoes

2 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup of your favourite maple syrup
3 tbsp of brown sugar
1/2 tsp of fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1 tsp of cinnamon
3 tbsp of butter

Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Boil potatoes until soft. Mash with remaining ingredients. Alternately, they are great when you roast them, then mash them. I generally roast with the brown sugar on, then mash with all other ingredients.

Sweet and delish. I make these at Christmas and Thanksgiving.
