I got this recipe from my Runner's World magazine.  Who know a running magazine could have such delicious recipes.  This is fantastic!
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into one-inch pieces
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or 1 tsp dried ginger)
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
salt and pepper
Place sweet potatoes in a large sauce pot and add enough cold water to cover.  Bring to a gentle boil over high heat and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until tender.  Combine milk, ginger and nutmeg in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat.  Drain the potatoes, return to the pan, add the milk mixture and beat with a potato masher or handheld mixer until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper.  Makes 5 servings (or two for really hungry athletes if this is your "main course")
