• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small, even pieces for quick and uniform cooking.
• Place the sweet potato pieces in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. You can also steam them to better preserve their nutrients.
• Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes in a colander.
• Transfer them to a bowl and add the butter, olive oil, and a little salt and pepper.
• Mash with a potato masher or a fork until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, you can use a blender.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste. If you prefer a softer purée, add a little cream or hot milk until you reach the desired consistency.
• Serve the purée hot, and if you like a bit of spice, sprinkle a pinch of Espelette pepper on top.
