3 large sweet potatoes, in 3-inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter, cut up
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt butter in a roasting pan. Add spices, maple syrup and mix. Toss peeled cubes of potatoes in butter to coat well. Sprinkle with sugar.

Cover with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until they are tender.

Mash with a potato masher for a coarser texture, or with a hand blender for a smooth puree.

Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve with a pat of butter on top, if desired.
