Gingered Sweet Potatoes
1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into small cubes
2 teaspoons light butter or trans-fat free spread
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
Minced chives or scallion greens (optional)
Place the potatoes in a microwaveable dish in a single layer (8" x 8" works well). Cover with plastic wrap, making a vent in one corner. Cook on high power, rotating occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until very soft. Let stand for about 3 minutes.
Carefully remove the plastic by pulling it toward you so the steam rises away from you. With a potato masher, smash the potatoes. Add the butter or spread, ginger, and salt. Stir with the masher to mix. Serve right away sprinkled with minced chives or scallion greens, if using.
