Peel the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler or knife, being careful not to cut off too much flesh.

Dice the sweet potatoes into small pieces to help them soften more easily.

Place the diced sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover them with just enough water to barely cover them.

Put the saucepan on medium to medium-high heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Drain the water from the sweet potatoes after they are tender.

Add butter, a lot of brown sugar, a pinch of nutmeg, a lot of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the drained sweet potatoes.

Mix everything together until well combined and silky in texture.
