1 tsp salt, plus more for the cooking water
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 tbsp unsalted butter
¼ cup whole milk, warmed
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. 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 15–18 minutes.
2
Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander, then return them to the empty pot. Set the pot over low heat for 1–2 minutes, shaking occasionally, until any surface moisture has evaporated and the potatoes look dry.
