Method
- Cook the sweet potatoes in water with the cinnamon stick until they are very soft.
- Drain them and make a dense puree. If necessary, gradually add water from the sweet potato's own cooking liquid.
- Return everything to the heat in a pot and beat in a zigzag motion, stirring so it does not stick, until it is so thick that it separates from the sides of the pot.
- Pour the boniatillo into portions over a dish with sugar on the bottom so it does not stick, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
