Recipe - Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1 teaspoon Grated orange peel; or more,
to taste
4 Sweet potatoes; cooked,
peeled and mashed (I like
to whip mine in my
electric mixer.)
2 tablespoon Butter; melted
3 tablespoon Maple syrup

The orange peel in this one may confuse you, but remember that the
colonists had trade with the West Indies, and that is where they got their
oranges. In the southern states this dish is still made the same way,
though with molasses instead of "Yankee" maple syrup.

Mix the orange peel with the mashed potatoes and place the mixture in a
greased baking dish. Mix the butter with the syrup and pour over the top.
Bake uncovered at 350ø for 25 minutes.
