What Ingredients do I Need for Mashed Sweet Potatoes?

  • 5 count Sweet potatoes ( peeled ) - default
  • 1.5 cup milk - default
  • 1 tsp Ghee ( fresh ) - default

Instructions: How to Make Mashed Sweet Potatoes

  • Boil/Steam
    Place the sweet potato cubes in a pot of boiling water or a steamer. Cook for 12–15 minutes until they are soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Drain and Dry
    Drain the water thoroughly and let the potatoes sit in the hot pot for 1 minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate (this prevents a watery mash).
  • Mash
    Use a potato masher or a fork to crush the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the ghee/oil and cinnamon, adding a splash of warm liquid until you reach your desired creaminess.
