Sweet potatoes take FOREVER to get soft. Boiling for 15 minutes would not have worked. I boiled the sweet potatoes for an hour and some pieces were still hard (some were mushy too)! Of course, I had a lot of sweet potato pieces stuffed into one pot, and I’m sure if I spread them out more evenly, they would have had a better consistency. That’s what I’ll do next time. I had planned to leave the sweet potatoes in chunks as that was how I had them growing up, but I kind of liked the mushy ones. My end result was a mixture of mushy and solid pieces (which ironically is what the recipe result was supposed to be) and I think I may eat them like that from now on. I reduced the brown sugar and butter to ¾ c. each and used fresh sweet potatoes. What a great recipe!
