Steps:
- 1. First we need to roast our Garlic so preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. Remove all the loose "paper like" outer layers from the Garlic bulb. Cut the top end off the Garlic Bulb. 3. Drizzle Olive Oil over the top of the Garlic Bulbs. Wrap the Garlic in foil and place in the preheated oven and roast for 40 minutes. 4. When Garlic is done roasting, remove from oven and set aside to cool so it will be easy to handle. 5. Wash and peel 6 large Sweet Potatoes. 6. In a large pot, bring about 4 quarts of Water to a boil. Then add in the Sweet Potatoes and return to a slow boil. Continue to boil them just until fork tender. 7. Drain the Potatoes and return them to the pot. 8. Add in the Butter, and Cream Cheese and mash well with a potato masher. 9. Give the old Pepper Mill a few turns over the Potatoes and Squeeze the Roasted Garlic from the bulbs into the Potatoes. Continue to mash them until everything is incorporated. 10. Once you have a nice Mashed Potato consistency you are ready to serve! ~Serve with a dollop of Sour Cream on top or a little more Butter. If you have some fresh Chives they would look great on top for a little garnish as well. I always have them in my garden and I would have added them on top....but I live in Minnesota and it is wintertime and snowing! -Enjoy! Recipe by: Hot Dish Homemaker
MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut tops off garlic. Place on foil; drizzle with oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic to release from skins. Cook sweet potatoes in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; return to pot. Add milk, cream, butter, and roasted garlic. Using handheld electric mixer, beat until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm in microwave until heated through.)
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Roast the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and have a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to bring out the flavor of the sweet potatoes and garlic.
- Roast the garlic cloves whole: This will help to preserve their flavor and make them easy to peel and mash.
- Mash the sweet potatoes and garlic together until they are smooth and creamy: You can use a potato masher or a food processor to do this.
- Season the mashed sweet potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper are all good options.
- Serve the mashed sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
