Ingredients
To cook sweet potatoes
- 2.2 pounds sweet potatoes
- water to cover
- salt
To mash
- 1 cup milk
- 2-3 Tablespoon butter
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
Instructions
- Wash and scrub sweet potatoes from mud if there is any. Peel potatoes and cut off the ends if necessary.
- Cut sweet potatoes into quarters and cut into smaller chunks. The smaller you cut them the faster they will cook through.
- Keep a pot on the fire with the sweet potato chunks and cover with water and add some salt.
- Boil potatoes until cooked through soft.
- Strain potatoes and keep the potatoes back in the pot from earlier. Place over the stove on a minimum heat setting so that nothing sticks in the pot.
- Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
- Mash the sweet potatoes over the loved heat setting to the desired texture.
- Take from the heat and serve up hot with some extra tbs butter if you like.
