Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes and cut them into half-inch cubes.

Submerge the cut sweet potatoes in water to prevent oxidation while cutting the rest.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the sweet potato cubes to the boiling water and boil for about 10 to 15 minutes until very soft.

Smash 12 cloves of garlic with the broadside of a blade to release the juices, then chop finely.

Chop fresh rosemary very finely to avoid large pieces in the pie.

Toast chia seeds or cumin seeds (the creator mentions cumin).

Once the sweet potatoes are soft, drain them and add 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1 cup of milk.

Mash the sweet potatoes with the butter and milk until creamy.

Add the smashed garlic, chopped rosemary, toasted cumin seeds, and freshly ground black pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of paprika and combine all the ingredients well.

Grease a baking pan and pour the sweet potato mixture into it.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about one hour.
