Spiced Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Cut potatoes into 1 inch chunks. Place potatoes and salt in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Drain potatoes. Run potatoes through a food mill, ricer or mash with a potato masher.

Return mashed potatoes to saucepan. Turn heat to low, stir in syrup, butter, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and milk. Serve warm.
