  parchment paper-lined large cookie sheet.

  evenly as possible.

• 10 Remove sweet potatoes and drippings to a large Dutch oven.
• 11 If desired, set aside about half a cup for garnish.
• 12 Mash potatoes with a potato masher.

• 16 If desired, you can puree soup with an immersion blender at this point. (See
  note below.)
