Sweet Sweet Potatoes

I like sweet potatoes mashed and very, very sweet. I like to add lots of brown sugar and butter to them at which point they cease being a healthy food. For special occasions I think that's okay, but for regular dinners here's a healthier option: Peel, chop and boil the sweet potatoes as you would regular mashed potatoes. After cooking the sweet potatoes, mash them and add some applesauce and a touch of cinnamon. Stir well. This is especially good if the applesauce was made a bit chunky. This made an excellent side dish that even little Evangeline enjoyed.
