Sweet Potato Puree

Directions

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small, even pieces. 
  This helps it cook faster.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. 
  Add a pinch of salt to the water.
• Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. 
  Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
• When the sweet potatoes are ready, drain the water.
• In a separate pan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts completely.
• Place the cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork.
• Gradually add the milk and butter mixture to the mashed sweet potatoes, stirring until smooth. 
  You can adjust the amount of milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
• Season the puree with salt and black pepper to taste. 
  Keep in mind that the amount of salt can vary depending on your personal taste.
• Serve hot sweet potato puree as a side dish for main dishes. 
  You can also add a little more melted butter on top before serving, if desired.
