Fantastic!! I served this mash with our Easter dinner and it was a hit. We are big fans of a more savory, "non-sweet" sweet potato dish and this one was on the money. I admit to adding about 4 additional cloves of garlic and some chili powder for a little spice. Garnished with additional cilantro and some paprika and this was beautiful and wonderfully delicious. Loved the flavor combination and no ingredient over powered the next, it was just lovely. Thank you for a wonderful recipe we will add into our regular menu rotation!

Sweet potato, garlic and coriander, my favourites so hadto try this recipe. I loved it, used light yoghurt instead of the creme fraiche mainly because that is what I had on hand. I finely cut up the coriander roots as well as the stems and left the leaves whole. I am going to try it next with some chopped up Jalapenos, I like spicy and think this will work well. Thanks for the recipe.
