maple whipped sweet potatoes with caramelized onio

Here's one spot where technique really makes a difference. Cook the onion until deep Brown and caramelized. It adds another layer of complex sweetness that differs from the Maple syrup. If you have some grated pecorino Romano it will make the puree richer and give it a nutty undertone.
