2–3 medium sweet potatoes

Add a pinch of salt if you like.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–25 minutes (until fork-tender).
Drain & serve:
Drain the water and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm.
Optional toppings (for flavor):
A drizzle of olive oil or a small knob of butter
Sprinkle of cinnamon or black pepper
A little honey for sweetness
