Goat Cheese Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender.
• Drain the potatoes and garlic and process them together through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade set over a bowl. While the potatoes are still hot, stir in the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, half-and-half, 4 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper, until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and yams in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and yams and place in a stand mixer fitter with a whisk attachment. Add the goat cheese, butter and garlic and mix on low just until smooth, being careful not to over-mix or the potatoes will become gummy. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, add the milk to loosen.

• Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place potatoes and whole garlic cloves into a steamer basket inside the pot. Close and lock the lid and set the venting knob to sealing. Select high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove lid and trivet, leaving sweet potatoes and garlic in the pot. Add goat cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper and mash to desired consistency. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm.
• When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.
• Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash coarsely.
• Heat the margarine in a medium skillet.
• Add the zucchini and sauté, stirring frequently, until it is golden and tender.
• Add the scallions and sauté for another minute or so.
• Combine the zucchini mixture with the mashed sweet potato in the mixing bowl.
• Add the goat cheese and salt, and stir well to combine.
• Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells.
• Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400-degree oven, and serve.
