PJ's Sweet Potato Mash





6 (8 ounce) sweet potatoes


1 1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish


2 tablespoons honey


2 tablespoons butter or margarine


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 cup heavy cream





DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. Cool slightly and remove peels.


Place the cooked sweet potatoes into a large bowl and mash with the horseradish, honey, butter and salt. Whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, adding heavy cream as needed to get the texture you desire. Serve immediately, or keep warm in the oven until time to serve.





I like to toast pecans with creole seasoning and sprinkle on top:-) Yummy!





Here's another one that I like:





Roasted Garlic Sweet Potatoes





Ingredients:


4 sweet potatoes


2 heads garlic


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)


3/4 cup light sour cream


1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)


salt and pepper to taste





Directions:


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.





I also love making Spicy Sweet Potato Fries.





Ingredients:


6 sweet potatoes, cut into French fries (or buy a bag of frozen sweet potato fries)


2 tablespoons canola oil


1 tablespoon creole seasoning


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper





Directions:


Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).





In a plastic bag, combine the sweet potatoes, canola oil, creole seasoning, cayenne pepper. Close and shake the bag until the fries are evenly coated. Spread the fries out in a single layer on two large baking sheets. (Tip: take a piec of aluminum foil and crinkle. Spread out on the baking sheet and put fries on top. Less mess and crispier fries.)





Bake for 30 minutes, or until crispy and brown on one side. Turn the fries over using a spatula, and cook for another 30 minutes, or until they are all crispy on the outside and tender inside. Thinner fries may not take as long.Do you have a good spicy mashed sweet potato recipe?

Just boil the peeled potatoes and mash (as you would for regular mashed potatoes); add some real maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, ginger and a dash of nutmeg.......
