Ingredients

1 ½ lbs sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ tsp kosher salt
2 tb avocado oil or other neutral flavored oil
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large, 12-inch skillet over medium high heat.
Add the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for 15-20 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring frequently.
Note: Sweet potatoes can burn easily, so don’t walk away from the pan. Be sure to stir every few minutes to avoid burning. If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, turn the heat to medium, and continue cooking until tender. If they dry out too much, add 1-2 teaspoons of additional oil.
Add the butter and stir to coat. Taste and add additional salt if desired.

Notes
