Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, start by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into chunks. Boil them in a pot of water until they are tender, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Once they are cooked, drain the water and mash them until they are smooth. The texture should be creamy with no lumps. It’s like a heavenly cloud in my bowl! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
