Critical Success Points

  • Boil sweet potatoes until fork‑tender (step 3).
  • Mash to a completely smooth puree (step 4).
  • Incorporate eggs only after the mixture has cooled slightly to avoid curdling (step 7).
  • Do not overbake; watch for a light golden color and test with a toothpick (step 11).

Safety Warnings

  • Boiling water and hot steam can cause burns; handle the pot with oven mitts.
  • The oven interior reaches 180 °C; use heat‑proof gloves when removing the tart.

Q
