Step 1
Start by placing your sweet potato chunks into a large pot and covering them with salted water.
Step 2
Turn the heat up high and bring the water to a lively boil.

Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low and let the sweet potatoes simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

It’s time to add some flavor! Toss in a generous pat of butter, a few cloves of minced garlic, and a sprinkle of dried basil and thyme.
Step 7
Grab a potato masher and get to work, mashing everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture that’s simply irresistible.
Step 8
Serve your delicious sweet potato mash warm, and watch as it becomes the star of your meal! Enjoy every comforting bite!.
