Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, cook the sweet potatoes until they’re tender. You can either boil them or roast them in the oven—both methods work wonderfully! If you opt for boiling, just peel them, chop them into chunks, and cook them until fork-tender. If you roast them, just prick them a few times with a fork and pop them in the oven for about 45 minutes. Once cooked, mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl until smooth.
