Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I like to peel and cube the sweet potatoes before boiling them until they’re tender—this usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once they’re soft, I drain and mash them with a potato masher until they’re smooth and creamy. The aroma is just divine! Now, let’s mix in the sugar, milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until it’s all well blended. Everything is coming together beautifully!
