Ingredients
  

  • 800 grams sweet potatoes
  • ¼ to ⅓ cup butter
  • ¼ to ⅓ cup milk or cream
  • salt to taste
  • ground pepper to taste
  • chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into two-inch cubes.
  • Cook in boiling salted water until very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Strain.
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and dump into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the very hot sweet potatoes. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth (the heat from the sweet potatoes will melt the butter).
  • Sprinkle with salt and and pepper, and mix.
  • Pour in the milk or cream and stir until smooth. If you want a softer mixture, add more milk or cream. DO NOT OVERMIX to prevent the mashed sweet potatoes from turning lumpy.
  • Taste. Add more salt or pepper, or both, as needed.
  • Stir in the parsley.
