Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Sweet Potatoes

  1. 1

    Boil Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop sweet potatoes into uniform chunks (about 1-inch). Place them in a pot of salted water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook Until Tender

    Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let cook for about 15-20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.

  3. 3

    Drain and Set Aside

    Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and let them sit to steam off excess water for a couple of minutes.

Making the Purea

  1. 4

    Mash the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, add the drained sweet potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them until smooth and creamy.

  2. 5

    Add Ingredients

    To the mashed sweet potatoes, add the butter, finely chopped fresh rosemary, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the puree and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt, pepper, or rosemary to your liking.
