Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

- 3 pounds yams
- ½ cup soy milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
This dish is always on our table for our thanksgiving dinner.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub the yams and prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
- Cut the yams in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a hand masher or electric beater (do not use a food processor). Add the soy milk and maple syrup; mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
