1/4 c butter or margaring
2 eggs
pint of half & half
3/4 c confectioners sugar
salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mace (optional)
nutmeg and cloves (quick shot)

peel potatoes and cut into eighths, boil with salt.  20 -25 min.  til soft.
drain water into a bowl and set aside.

Place potatoes (still hot) in large mixing bowl, add butter, then eggs and
mix thoroughly.  Add 1/2 and 1/2, and spices, mix thoroghly.  Add
confectioners sugar and mix ....

Taste.  Adjust sugar and spices as needed.  Use a hand mixer at low speed
and increase gradually as needed.    He doesnt' say what to do with the
water - I have sometimes neeeded to add it back for a good consistency.

It's like pie w/o crust cause it is so sweet.
