This is a very simple dish. The recipe calls for canned sweet potatoes. I have fresh sweet potatoes and will use those by peeling and cubing 4 medium size potatoes and boiling them in lightly salted water until soft. While the potatoes are still hot drain the water and use handmixer to blend. The strings in the potaoes come out wrapped around the beaters of handmixer and the potatoes are very smooth and fluffy. Continue with the recipe same as with canned.
