Boiled Sweet Potatoes

Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a Dutch oven or stock pot, then cover them with water. Add the salt, stir, then bring the water to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Serve them topped with butter, parsley, pepper and additional salt, if desired.
