Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I wanted to try something different, these potatoes are delicious and a great alternative or addition to regular mashed.

3lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 stick butter
1 banana, sliced
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 C. chicken stock
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
salt and pepper

Boil potatoes until tender, drain and reserve.  Return the pot to the stove top over medium heat.  Add butter and bananas to the pot.  Cook bananas 5 minutes and add the juice of 1 orange to the pot, reserve the zest.  Allow the juice to cook out, 1 minute.  Add potatoes to the pot and stock and sugar.  Mash potatoes, banana, stock and sugar together until well combined.  Season with nutmeg, salt, pepper and orange zest to taste.  Mash to combine spices and serve.
