Step 1

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.

Step 3

Chop the sweet potatoes into roughly 1 inch pieces and add to boiling water.

Step 4

Cook potatoes until fork tender and reserve 1/2 cup starchy cooking water. Strain leftover water and transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add a large pinch of salt, butter, and yogurt (if desired) to potatoes, and mash together until smooth. Add splashes of potato cooking liquid as needed.

Step 6

Serve plain or top with your favorite toppings! For a sweet treat, mix in brown sugar, cover with mini marshmallows, and broil to reveal the golden gooey goodness! (This option is probably best without greek yogurt.)
