Directions
- 1Start by peeling two sweet potatoes.
- 2Cut your sweet potato into more manageable pieces, like a large dice or half-moon, to help them cook more evenly.
- 3Add a decent handful of kosher salt to the cut sweet potatoes.
- 4Cover the sweet potatoes with cold water.
- 5Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat, just like making mashed potatoes.
- 6Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, strain them and put them right back into the pot.
- 7Put the pot over medium to low heat and let them steam on the burner to steam out some of the excess water.
- 8Add the steamed potatoes into the bowl of a food processor.
- 9Add about a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the food processor.
- 10Add a pinch of kosher salt.
- 11Add two tablespoons of cold butter (one tablespoon per sweet potato) to the food processor.
- 12Process the ingredients until smooth.
- 13Serve the mashed sweet potatoes.
