DARK ALE WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

Whipped sweet potatoes make a great side dish for pork, venison, lamb and chicken. Actually, just a bowl of these ale whipped sweet potatoes and a wedge of beer bread with a pint of Black Douglas makes for a nice sitting. The mild sweetness, bitterness, and light herbaceousness is a perfect marriage in this recipe.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves 6
Ingredients:
3 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut 1"x 1"
2 Bay leaves
2 T unsalted Butter
4 oz Black Douglas Ale, heated
1 tsp Kosher Salt
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cinnamon
Cracked Black Pepper

Preparation
Place the potatoes in a 2 quart soup pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes, add a pinch of kosher salt and the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are soft, approximately 12 - 15 minutes. Strain the potatoes and remove the bay leaves. Place the potatoes into a food mill and pass the potatoes through, alternating with the butter. Then, fold in the ale, salt and spices. Serve the whipped sweet potatoes immediately or reheat in a microwave.
