Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into uniform 2-inch cubes. This ensures even cooking.
â±ïž 10-15 minutes - 2
Boil the sweet potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 25-30 minutes.
â±ïž 25-30 minutes - 3
Drain and mash: Once tender, carefully drain all the water from the pot. Return the pot to the warm stove (heat off) for about 1 minute to allow any residual moisture to evaporate. Add the cubed butter and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the hot sweet potatoes. Using a potato masher or a sturdy fork, mash the sweet potatoes and butter together until smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mashing, which can make them gummy. Adjust salt to your preference.
