MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC

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.)

GARLIC MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Start by preheating your oven to 400°F.
• Scrub the sweet potatoes clean. Pat dry and prick each one several times with a fork. Place on an ungreased sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
• While the potatoes are baking, slice the top of the garlic head off so that the cloves are exposed. Wrap in aluminum foil.
• After the potatoes have baked 30 minutes, add the foil wrapped garlic to the pan with the potatoes. Bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Split the potatoes lengthwise, and then flip them so the cut side is up. Unwrap the garlic, and let both the garlic and potatoes cool for about 15 minutes.
• Scoop out the sweet potato flesh into the food processor bowl with the chopping blade. (The skins of my potatoes just peeled off in one piece, so I didn't have to dirty up a spoon to scoop the flesh.) Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves over the potatoes. Add in the remaining ingredients.
• Pulse for 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl and stir the potato mixture around. Repeat the pulse and stir step 2 more times, or until everything is smooth.
• Serve and enjoy immediately!

ROASTED GARLIC SWEET POTATOES

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.
