Caribbean Boniato Mash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boniato, peeled and cubed in 1/2-inch cubes (Caribbean sweet potato)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated (or more to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Place the boniato in a large pot with cold salted water to cover and slowly bring t a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer the boniato until very tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain the boniato well and return to the pot. Mash with a potato masher or put through a ricer. Do not use a food processor to mash the boniato or it will taste gummy.
Add the butter and cream and continue mashing to form a creamy puree. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
