Yields1 Serving
 1 sweet potato, halved vertically with skin left on
 1 teaspoon raw honey
 1 Tablespoon butter, optional
 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 1/2 cup milk (oat, almond, or dairy)
 6 dried cranberries for garnish, optional
1

Place the halved sweet potatoes cut side up on a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake in a 425 degree convection oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

2

Carefully scoop the flesh out of each potato half and place it in a bowl. Be sure not to break through the skin, as you will use the skins to serve the mashed potatoes.

3

Add the honey, butter, and spices to the potato. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender or mix with electric beaters. Add the milk slowly, 1/4 cup at a time, until the desired texture is reached.

4

Spoon the mashed potato into the potato skins for serving.

5

Add a few cranberries atop the mashed potato for garnish.
