Step 1

Wash and scrub sweet potatoes from mud if there is any. Peel potatoes and cut off the ends if necessary.

Step 2

Cut sweet potatoes into quarters and cut into smaller chunks. The smaller you cut them the faster they will cook through.

Step 3

Keep a pot on the fire with the sweet potato chunks and cover with water and add some salt.

Step 4

Boil potatoes until cooked through soft.

Step 5

Strain potatoes and keep the potatoes back in the pot from earlier. Place over the stove on a minimum heat setting so that nothing sticks in the pot.

Step 6

Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.

Step 7

Mash the sweet potatoes over the loved heat setting to the desired texture.

Step 8

Take from the heat and serve up hot with some extra tbs butter if you like.
