Heat the ghee in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add mashed sweet potatoes.

Now add milk. Mix and cook until all the moisture evaporates and leaves the sides of the pan.

Notes
Sweet potatoes: I always prefer to use Indian sweet potato which has white flesh. You can use orange sweet potato which is widely available in American stores. I prefer the white one because it is sweeter than the orange one. If using orange, increase the sugar amount.
