Method
To make mashed sweet potato, start by peeling your potatoes; then, with a knife, remove any imperfections or bashes on the potato.
Cut into even sized pieces, to ensure all the pieces cook at the same time, then boil for 4-6 minutes on the hob.
When the potatoes are soft, drain them and return them to the pan. Add a little butter, salt and pepper and milk, and mash to a rough paste with a fork.
