Sweet Potatoes With Mustard Sauce image

Perfumed with fresh thyme sprigs and served with a piquant mustard-sour cream dressing, these baked sweet potatoes hit all the right notes - sweet and velvet fleshed, pleasantly tangy, and herbal. You can stir the sauce together several hours or even the day before, and leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Other herbs - rosemary, tarragon, sage - can fill in for thyme. (To make this recipe vegan, try substituting coconut yogurt or 1/4 cup olive oil for the sour cream.)

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sweet potatoes (2 large or 4 small potatoes)
1 small bunch of thyme sprigs
1/3 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes into 1-inch-thick slices. Reassemble slices so they look like intact potatoes. Insert a sprig of thyme between each of the slices. Wrap each potato in 2 layers of foil and place on a pie tin, roasting pan or directly on oven rack (seam side up).
  • Bake potatoes until very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mustard, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Serve potatoes dolloped with mustard sauce.

I'm not a big fan of mustard, but I thought this recipe was surprisingly good! The mustard sauce was not too overpowering and the sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The mustard sauce was a bit too strong for my taste and the sweet potatoes were a bit dry.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some other spices next time to give it more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mustard sauce turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much milk.

I thought the mustard sauce was a bit too strong for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably try making it again with less mustard next time.
