Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Estimated time: 45 minutes.

What you need:

• Sweet potatoes (3 to 4 make a good portion)
• Olive oil
• Butter (no salt, 1/2 tablespoon per potato)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Italian seasoning
• Nutmeg (a pinch, nutmeg is strong)

Get to it:

• Arrange potatoes on a pot, cover with water.
• Boil for at least 30 minutes, covered. (Potatoes should be soft internally, probe with fork.)
• Turn heat off. Remove the potatoes.
• Peel off skin of each potato. Should be very easy if they are properly cooked.
• Place all potatoes on a bowl.
• Salt to taste. Cover with black pepper. Sprinkle italian seasoning generously. Add a pinch of nutmeg.
• Coat with olive oil and add the butter.
• Mash with fork, turning the bowl to evenly mash it all. While mashing, mix the seasoning and make sure the butter is fully melted.
