Basic Mashed Sweet Potato

Directions

1. 1
   Peel sweet potato and chop in to small cubes. Place enough water in a small saucepan to cover the potato chunks. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato to the water and boil 15-20 minutes, until the potato is soft enough that a butter knife easily slices the pieces in half.
2. 2
   Remove pot from heat and drain potatoes. Return potatoes to heat and add salt, pepper and butter.
3. 3
   Using a small whisk, combine potato cubes, butter, salt and pepper. The potato should be soft enough that you can essentially whip them using the whisk.
4. 4
   Add anything you want to this! I'm a fan of garlic, rosemary, lemon pepper ... anything!
