SWEET POTATO MASH
INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5kg Sweet Potato, cut into cubes

  • 2 tsp salt

METHOD

  1. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender (when it’s easy to slide a fork in and out), about 9 to 12 minutes.

  3. Stir in the butter, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Season to taste with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper.
