- Place the sweet potato in a saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until tender (about 10-15 minutes).

- Gradually whisk in milk until thickened and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).

- In a small bowl, beat egg yolks slightly.
- Stir the egg yolks into the sweet potato mixture. Then stir in the milk/butter mixture.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
