Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, I get to work on my sweet potatoes. If they’re not already cooked, I peel and boil them until tender, then I mash them up until smooth. There’s something so comforting about the warmth of those sweet potatoes—they almost feel like a hug from the inside! Next, I combine them in a mixing bowl with sugar, milk, melted butter, and whisk in the eggs. I find that using a whisk really helps create a nice, even texture. The scent of the melted butter mingling with sweet potatoes is simply divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
