For a festive mashed potato side dish, choose sweet potatoes. They're healthier than regular potatoes, and their unique flavor makes a great alternative to everyday mashed potatoes. To preserve as many nutrients as possible, sweet potatoes are baked whole in their skins, then peeled and mashed with the ingredients. Butter, orange juice, maple syrup, and a little chicken broth will add a richer flavor and a velvety, appetizing texture to your side dish. Serve with baked chicken, turkey, or other meats.

Ingredients:

• 3 large sweet potatoes, about 1.3 kg.
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• Heat 2 tbsp. chicken broth, homemade or store-bought, lightly salted
