Instructions

Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and place on baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Once cool enough to handle, peel the sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl. Mash to desired texture.
Fold in the milk, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and black pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
The sweet potaotes are best served immediately. If desired, top with additional butter or a sprinkling of toasted pecans.
