Poke 5 or 6 yellow sweet potatoes (not the orange variety!) with a fork and bake as you would regular potatoes, about 1 hour and 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
Scoop the cooked sweet potatoes into a casserole dish and add:
1/2 stick butter
6 tablespoons honey
juice of 4-5 limes
a little salt and pepper
Mash and stir thoroughly. Bake covered in the casserole at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
Adapted from “Mesa Mexicana” by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, p.58. Note these authors call for yams, but the Woolsey family much prefers yellow sweet potatoes.
