Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Yams peeled, cut into 2-inch dice (If yams are not available sweet potatoes may be substituted.)
  • 2 quarts hot Water
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 8 ounces Butter cold, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground White Pepper

Instructions

  • Place prepared yams in a large stockpot.

  • Using a wire whisk, mash until yams are broken up.
  • Add diced cold butter, ground cinnamon, white pepper and brown sugar. Mix again until the yams are smooth and all of the ingredients are mixed evenly. If needed, season with additional salt to taste.
  • Place the cinnamon yam mash on a large serving platter.
