Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces).

Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

Add the butter to the hot sweet potatoes and let it melt. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth.
Step 6
