Step-by-Step Instructions
First off, I recommend preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, let’s get started with our sweet potatoes. I usually peel and cube them before placing them in a large pot of boiling water. Let them cook for about 15-20 minutes until they’re tender, then drain and mash! They should be velvety and smooth, almost like a comforting hug in texture. Trust me, the smell of sweet potatoes cooking is just divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
