While Thanksgiving may be over, planning meals around harvest season with fresh vegetables makes any meal time a treat! This delicious medley of sweet potatoes, goat cheese, butter and heavy cream makes a perfect side to anything you’re serving up.
Ingredients
- 6 pounds sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ cup heavy cream or milk
- ½ cup goat cheese plain or try “woolwich dairy” cranberry cinnamon goat cheese for a twist
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Prick each sweet potato with a fork a few times. Wrap each potato in tin foil and
- place on a foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake until tender, about 1 – 1 ¼ hours.
- Remove sweet potatoes from oven and let cool slightly. Halve sweet potatoes and scoop out flesh into a large bowl. Add melted butter, cream, crumbled goat cheese and salt. Mash until smooth and season to taste with pepper.
- Note: if you’re a goat cheese lover like me, try crumbling additional goat cheese on top of the mashed sweet potatoes before serving.
