4 servings
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–22 minutes.

Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander and return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat for 1–2 minutes, shaking occasionally, until any remaining surface moisture has evaporated and the potatoes look dry.
