- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place in a pot of boiling water and cook until sweet potatoes are soft, 15 minutes or so. Drain and mash with the goat cheese and whole milk. Sweet potato mixture should be fairly smooth.

Notes
Tips & Tricks: I like to roast a batch of whole sweet potatoes to use through the week. This could easily cut out the peeling/boiling step. Just add the milk and cheese to the polenta before adding the pre-cooked sweet potatoes.
