Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks before placing them in a large pot of boiling water. I let them cook for about 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once they’re done, I drain the water and let the potatoes cool for a bit. After they’ve cooled, I mash them up in a mixing bowl until they’re smooth. The bright orange color is so inviting!
