4 servings
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for the cooking water
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - ¼ cup whole milk, warmed
Chef's tipUse the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor. - 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.

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.
