- Choose the right potatoes: Select sweet potatoes that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes for the best texture and flavor.

- Use warm ingredients: Warm the coconut oil and almond milk slightly before adding them to the mashed sweet potatoes for a smoother consistency.
- Adjust seasoning to taste: Taste the mashed sweet potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or spices according to your preference.
- Blend for extra creaminess: Use an immersion blender or a hand mixer to achieve an extra creamy texture.
- Add fresh herbs: Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving to add fresh color and flavor.
