STEP 1
While the sweet potatoes are wet, wrap them in wet paper towels and place in the microwave. Cook for 5-8 minutes each until a knife pierces them easily.

STEP 2
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, the garlic and ginger and sauté gently. 

STEP 3
Scoop out the hot potatoes, add to the pan and season with salt and pepper. If you’d like to make it fancier and richer, transfer to a food processor or using a hand stick blender, add 3-6 tablespoons butter or olive oil. All variations are equally as delicious. 

STEP 4
Spoon into serving bowl. Garnish with chives and serve
