Great as a side for the holidays, or really anytime! A little fact: In 1543 DeSoto's Spanish explorers found SweetPotatoes growing in "Indian gardens" in what became Louisiana. The SweetPotatoes were also cultivated in the Carolina area of North America before the European colonization. Adapted from the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission.

ROASTED GARLIC SWEET POTATOES



Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes image

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.

Provided by Kelly

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.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC



Mashed Sweet Potatoes With Roasted Garlic image

There's no reason we can't treat sweet potatoes like regular potatoes, meaning mashing them with butter, cream and lots of salt. Roasting sweet potatoes in the oven - individually wrapped in foil to help them steam - is not just a hands-off way to cook them by avoiding large pots of boiling water, it also concentrates their flavor. Roasted garlic is an easy addition here; since the potatoes already need an hour's worth of oven time, the garlic can cook alongside. The mellowed, caramelized garlic cloves are then smashed into the silky spuds, creating a minimalist yet rich and savory side dish. Make this the night before and reheat it in a buttered casserole dish in the oven - or even in the microwave - with a couple of extra pats of butter on top, right before eating.

Provided by Eric Kim

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large head of garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes (see Tip)
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Turn the garlic head on its side and carefully cut off the very top end to expose the cloves. (Discard the top.) Place the head of garlic on a sheet of foil, cut side up, and drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and place on a sheet pan. Wrap each sweet potato individually in foil and place on the pan alongside the garlic.
  • Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and the garlic is soft, fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 1 hour. Set aside, still wrapped, to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, heat the cream and butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, checking after each, until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, you can heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium until the butter is melted.)
  • Unwrap the sweet potatoes and peel them, discarding the skin and adding the flesh to a large bowl. Squeeze the garlic head, cut side down, into the bowl to release the roasted cloves. Pour in the hot cream and butter. Using a whisk or fork, break up the potatoes and garlic and vigorously stir until smooth and fluffy, at least 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm. (To make ahead, transfer to a buttered casserole dish or cake pan, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, until ready to eat. Bake in a 350-degree oven or microwave until heated through, about 15 minutes. On Thanksgiving, you should reheat this when the turkey is out of the oven and resting.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes well before baking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help the steam to escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Baked garlic sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be customized to your own liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious.
