Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sweet Potatoes. Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and cut them into thick rounds (about 1-inch thick). Boil the sweet potato rounds in a large pot of salted water for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Smash the Sweet Potatoes. Place the boiled sweet potato rounds in a large bowl. Use the back of a fork or a potato masher to gently smash each round until they reach your desired texture.
  • Season. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Garnish and Serve. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.
