I've never thought of using cream cheese with sweet potatoes before (even though I love them with russets) but it added a wonderful creamy texture. The green chilies combine nicely with the garlic and red pepper. Thanks for a new way to fix sweet potatoes that doesn't require a lot of sugar! Roxygirl

Wonderful!! Even my hubby gave it two thumbs up!! I didn't peel the potatoes beforehand...just cut them into chunks, boiled them (with the peeled garlic cloves), and slipped the potato peels off. Mashed them with my immersion blender. This is such a super recipe - one I will definitely make again and again!! THANKS!!!
