📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and fit with a steamer basket. Cover and bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, skin side down. Cook, covered, until very tender, 30 to ⏱️ 35 minutes. Peel potatoes and discard skins. Transfer flesh to a bowl and mash until smooth.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until deep golden brown and nutty-smelling, 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add 6 cups water to pot and bring to a boil. Stir in grits, cinnamon stick, and kosher salt. Actively simmer, stirring often, until thickened and no longer bubbling and grits are tender, 16 to ⏱️ 45 minutes (time will vary depending on brand of grits).
