ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, quartered lengthwise
- 12 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
directions
- In a 450-degree Fahrenheit (230-degrees Celsius) oven, roast the peeled cloves of garlic and sweet potatoes (quartered, length-wise) in canola oil. Coat the vegetables liberally in the oil. The potatoes should be skin-side down. Wrap the vegetables, tightly, in aluminum foil. This will take between 30 and 40 minutes.
- Remove the hot potatoes from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. If you want a more rustic mash, leave the skins on the sweet potatoes. Otherwise, just peel them off. After roasting, this should be fairly easy to do with your fingertips once they've cooled enough to be handled.
- In a bowl, combine the vegetables and season them with the salt, pepper, coconut milk, and butter.
- Mash the ingredients together with a potato masher.
- Serve, hot.

A cooking enthusiast since a young age, I worked for several restaurants to get myself through college. After graduating with a degree in History (Ancient Civilizations), though, I ended up going to work in the Internet and Journalism worlds. During this time, I kept experimenting.
I confess I do have diagnosed depression and anxiety, so my enthusiasm for cooking has flagged in recent years. It's difficult, at times, to find energy or drive. But every now and then I'll find something new to create and upload it, here.
Thanks for following me and hanging in there during this relative slow period in my life.
