Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes With Roasted Garlic
Creamy Sweet Potatoes with Roasted Garlic.
Instead of making standard mashed Potatoes, why not try mashing Sweet Potatoes then kicking it up a notch with Roasted Garlic? I also add a few other components to make this dish creamy and rich.
Roasting Garlic gives the Garlic a sweet caramelized texture. When incorporated into this dish, it brings out the earthiness of the Sweet Potatoes.

Directions:

4. Drain the Potatoes and return them to the pot.
5. Add the Butter, Sour Cream and Cream Cheese to the Potatoes and mash well with a potato masher.

7. Once you have a nice Mashed Potato consistency you are ready to serve.
