Mashed Sweet Potatoes -- WW Friendly

Sweet potatoes were on sale at Bloom this week and the Weight Watchers recipe gave me some ideas so here is my take on making mashed sweet potatoes:

Cut 2 large sweet potatoes into cubes. Bring to a boil and cook until very soft. (I cooked them for about 20 minutes then let them sit in the hot water with the stove off because I needed to run out to the train. When I got back 30 minutes later, they were perfect!)

Drain sweet potatoes and mash by hand. The softer they are, the easier this will be. Add 1 container of vanilla yogurt and mix well. I used full fat yogurt and did not need to add any extra sugar.

At this point, the dish is 2 Weight Watchers points and serves 4 people. The following toppings are good but not necessary and can add points:

Chopped nuts

Maple syrup -- drizzle on

Marshmallows

Powdered sugar

To add some depth to the potatoes, sprinkle in some cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves or pumpkin pie spice. None of these will add points.
