A healthier twist on mashed potatoes, not lacking in flavor :) These sweet and savory potatoes are roasted with olive oil and herbs before being blended until they are nice and creamy! Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes |
4 medium yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes |
1 medium yellow onion, chopped into 1-inch cubes |
6 garlic cloves |
olive oil |
2 tbsp: dried rosemary & dried thyme |
1 tbsp: salt & freshly ground black pepper |
3/4 cup milk |
4 oz (1/2 cup) neufchatel cheese |
3/4 cup chicken stock |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Put sweet potatoes, yukon golds and onion in a large bowl, coat completely with olive oil and seasonings. Transfer everything to two baking sheets lined with aluminum foil, and spread out evenly. Also add garlic cloves to baking sheets, un-peeled. Bake for 15 minutes, or until fork tender.
3. Transfer potatoes and onion to a standing mixer, or into a large bowl and use a hand mixer. Peel the garlic and add as well. Blend well, adding the neufchatel cheese a bit at a time. Add half of the chicken stock and milk. Once potatoes are blended to the desired consistency, transfer to a pot and warm on the stovetop. Stir in the rest of the chicken stock and milk, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve as a side dish with dinner.
