1 medium sized sweet potato

1 to 3 garlic cloves, peeled

4 T. butter or margarine

Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp. each)

 

Scrub and peel the potatoes and cut them into to 2-inch chunks.  Place the potatoes and the garlic cloves in a saucepan; add tap water until it covers the potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 10-12 minutes, until a fork slides easily through the potatoes.  Drain potatoes, reserving 3/4 C. of the cooking liquid. Mash the cooked potatoes and garlic with a potato masher, add butter or margarine, and reserved liquid 1/4 C. at a time, until potatoes are creamy, whipped consistency.
