Boil the sweet potatoes: Place the peeled and chunked sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well.

Prepare the pork filling: While sweet potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure the pork is fully cooked and no pink remains. - 4
Stir in the sofrito, tomato sauce, chopped olives, Adobo, Sazรณn, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld.

Mash the sweet potatoes: Return the drained sweet potatoes to their pot. Add the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Mash until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: For a smoother mash, use a potato ricer or food mill. - 6
Assemble the pastelรณn: Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread half of the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish.

Bake the pastelรณn: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the casserole is heated through.
