DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Once roasted potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins and place potatoes in a large bowl.

Pour in milk, brown sugar and butter, and mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (if using) and allspice. Mash together until potatoes are smooth and everything is evenly incorporated.

Transfer mixture to baking dish and set aside …
