Thick and Rich Sweet Potato Paste - sweet potatoes

Method

• Cut the sweet potatoes into very small pieces.
• Steam until they become tender and turn a bright yellow, and drain into a colander.
• Transfer to a bowl, and mash using a pestle.
• Add the butter and sugar, and mash some more.
• Add the cream and brandy, and mix in using a rubber spatula.
• Pass the paste through a sieve.
• This not only makes the paste smooth, it also gets rid of any fibers and so on, so please do not skip this step.
• Whip the additional heavy cream until it has thickened.
• Add it in several batches to the sweet potato paste until it's the consistency you like.
• When it is a consistency that's easy to use, it's done.
• Just use in any way you like.
