You don't have to dice sweet potato, just cut into few pieces or slice thickly before boiling in the water.
If potatoes are not salty enough, add more, it is based on your preferences, you can also add salted butter if you want.
SUBSTITUTIONS: If you don't have parmesan cheese you can use different cheese, for example: parmigiano reggiano, gruyere cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese or any other that you like or have at home. Any cheese will add extra flavor to potato.
