Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons organic pasture butter or ghee or coconut oil
¼ - ½ cup coconut milk (canned, full fat)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pepper
½ - ¾ teaspoon sea salt
pinch(es) of nutmeg, cinnamon and/or cayenne pepper

Directions
1. Peel (unless organic) and cut the potatoes into chunks and place in a large pot. Cover with cold water and let come to a boil. Turn down to medium-high and let cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender (should not be firm in the middle, for easy mashing).
2. Drain water and add potatoes back to the pot. Add butter/oil, coconut milk, salt, pepper, vanilla, and nutmeg. Whip with a whisk, fork, or immersion blender. You can also put them in a stand mixer and blend. 
3. Add more ingredients or additional spices, to taste.

Yield 4-6 servings
