Place sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling water, use enough water to cover. I left the skins on, they provide even more nutrients and flavor.
Ask a question about this stepSimmer Sweet Potatoes until they are cooked through about 20 minutes. Drain immediately.
Ask a question about this stepAdd milk and desired seasonings. Mash sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Set aside.
Ask a question about this stepPre heat oven to 375˚ degrees.
Ask a question about this stepHeat a large sauté pan with the olive oil over medium heat. It is easiest to use a pan that can go straight into the oven so you only have one pot to clean up. Saute the onion until softened and fragrant.
Ask a question about this stepAdd mushroom soup, peas and other veggies to pan. Add parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until spinach wilts and vegetables cook through. If there is too much liquid in the pan you can spoon it out so the filling doesn't get too runny.
Ask a question about this stepTake pan off the stove and spoon or use a spatula to cover the top with the mashed sweet potatoes. Here you can be "fancy" and let the kids help to create a pattern on the top. Beware that this is a very hot pan, so maybe second thoughts on help from the kids. They can re-decorate when you serve them their portion!
Ask a question about this stepSprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on the top. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove, let sit a few minutes and serve.
