YOU had me at sweet. Then you add potato, butter, cinnamon, mixed into a delicious mash. Well, as I said, you had me at "sweet". This should be YOUR go to recipe for the holidays, vacations, days-off, well, any-darn-time. Thanks for posting such a swoon-lovely recipe, elmotoo! xoxoxo.

Interesting ideas.. loaded with lots of healthy antioxidants from the Beta Carotene in the sweet potatoes and in the cinnamon. Will warm you up in the winter while you think of the heat in Papua New Guinea. I am considering some other additions like coconut. I found hot sauce went ok with this as well.
