Here is a recipe nicked from Peter Gordon - it was on Nigel Slater's TV
thing - I'm sure a few UK CH's drooled along to that...

 Peter Gordon's Sweet Potato, Rosemary and Garlic Mash
     Serves 4 as a side dish

     A light, fragrant and beautifully coloured mash from
     Peter Gordon.

        * 1kg (2 pounds) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut roughly into 2cm
          dice
        * 200g (8oz) unsalted butter
        * 1 red chilli, finely sliced [usual CH insert here - I would
suggest a nice juicy Scotch Bonnet or Hab)
        * 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
        * 2 dessertspoons fresh rosemary leaves, roughly
          chopped

     Put the potatoes in a pan, cover with cold water, add a
     few teaspoons of salt and boil until tender, just like
     ordinary potatoes.

     Meanwhile, heat up the butter in a small pan and, when
     melted, add the remaining ingredients. Cook over a
     moderate heat until the garlic begins to colour,
     stirring from time to time, then take off the heat.

     Drain and mash the potatoes, then stir in the chilli
     mixture. Taste for seasoning and serve.


It's yummy
