Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch chunks to promote even roasting.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Once roasted, transfer the sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl while still warm.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter to the sweet potatoes, allowing it to melt from the residual heat. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder until well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for garnish.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy this savory and creamy side dish!
