It is really just a matter of peeling and cubing the potatoes, and then simmering them in some water until tender.
Mash them with a couple other simple ingredients, and that is all you need for this simple side dish.
Sweet potatoes have always been a favorite of mine, from sweet potato casserole to sweet potato fries. I’m certain you will love this dish as well.
