For the sweet potato mash
In a large saucepan, drizzle some olive oil and sweat the red onion. Allow to caramelise then add the diced sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cover with cold water and add the rosemary sprigs. Bring to a boil, then reduce the fire intensity. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Until potatoes are soft. Drain, taking care to preserve a little of the cooking liquid and remove the rosemary sprigs. In the bowl of a food processor, place the sweet potatoes and mix them to create a very smooth puree. Add some butter and a little cooking liquid to adjust the texture. Adjust the seasoning.
