Return to pan and whisk in the butter, season to taste, add the chervil and froth just before service. Place the rings of sweet potatoes in a pan with a little celery juice and bring to heat on the top of the range. Once stock is hot, butter the tops and place in the oven until tender. Once cooked season and reserve.
