Ingredients

  • 950 Grams Sweet Potatoes (Peeled and cubed)
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 40 Grams Salted Butter (Cubed)
  • Salt and Pepper to season

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and then cut them into cubes. 
  • Add the sweet potato cubes to the boiling water and cook for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and place them back into the pot.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes using a hand masher or your prefered method of mashing.
  • Add in the cubes of butter and mash until well combined and fluffy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • A food processor can be used in place of a hand masher if you prefer a smoother mash.
  • Honey / Maple syrup can be added for an extra touch of sweetness.
