  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Place 1/2 of the sweet potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Mash, then mix in condensed milk, butter, and cinnamon.
