INGREDIENTS
  

  • 500 g sweet potatoes (peeled) cut into cubes or slices
  • 2 teaspoons butter or more if you prefer
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt pepper (to taste)
  • Espelette pepper optional, sprinkle a pinch on top
  • Cream or milk if necessary, depending on desired texture

PREPARATION

  • 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.
