These sweet potatoes are prepared similar to roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The sweet potatoes add an interesting creamy and sweet dynamic that is balanced out with sour cream, cream cheese, and--of course--roasted garlic...mmm.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet potatoes
2 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
¾ cup light sour cream
½ cup reduced-fat cream cheese
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork or the tip of a paring knife; set aside. Cut off the top of the heads of garlic to expose the cloves, trimming about 1/4 inch off of the top of each clove. You may need to trim individual cloves along the sides of each head. Brush the cut cloves with the olive oil, then nestle each head into a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Place the sweet potatoes and garlic cloves directly on the oven racks. Bake for about 1 hour, removing the sweet potatoes once they have softened, and removing the garlic heads once they are tender and nicely browned.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, and place into a mixing bowl. Squeeze the individual garlic cloves into the bowl, then add the butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and cayenne pepper. Mash until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape the mashed potatoes into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, and return to the oven for about 15 minutes to reheat.

◾6 Large Sweet Potatoes
◾2 Garlic Bulbs
◾1 Stick Butter
◾1 (8 oz.) Package Chive and Onion Cream Cheese
◾Olive Oil
◾Fresh Ground Pepper

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
