Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I love the moment the oven kicks on, filling my kitchen with that warm pre-baking vibe! Next, peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then place them in a large pot of boiling water. Let them cook until they’re tender, about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when you can easily poke them with a fork. Once they’re done, drain them and let them cool a bit before mashing them in a mixing bowl until smooth. It’s important to get them nice and creamy for that perfect cobbler texture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
