Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boniato (Caribbean sweet potato)
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Peel the boniato and cut it into 2-inch chunks for even cooking.
Place the boniato pieces in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the boniato is fork-tender.
Drain the boniato and return it to the pot.
Add coconut milk, butter, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper to the pot with the boniato.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the boniato until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed.
Transfer the boniato mash to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy this tropical twist on a classic side dish!
