Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs (1.1kg) yam or sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon salt coarse
- 1.5 - 2 ticks butter cold, cut into cubes, unsalted
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes ground white pepper
- sea salt flakes for sprinkling, Maldon brand
- 1 teaspoon Italian parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a pot with 8 cups of cold water and 1 tablespoon of coarse salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until a knife slips easily into the sweet potatoes, about 30 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and peel off the skin. Mash the sweet potatoes using the back of a large spoon or a potato masher. For a silky smooth texture, transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a food processor or electric mixer and process until they reach a very fine and creamy consistency.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a Dutch oven. Over medium-low heat, add the chilled butter cubes to the sweet potatoes and stir continuously until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the hot milk, stirring briskly. Continue to stir until all the milk is absorbed. Turn off the heat and add salt and ground white pepper to taste.
- Serve the mashed sweet potatoes immediately. Before serving, sprinkle some Maldon sea salt flakes and chopped parsley on top, and add two small cubes of butter.
