Author Notes

I'm always trying to find new ways to use sweet potatoes, because my boyfriend loves them. This was a success - the tanginess of the yogurt sort of brightened up the mash. —Erin Jeanne McDowell

What You'll Need

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes, cubed (540 g)
6 cloves garlic (30 g)
3-4 Tbsp olive oil (45-60 g)
salt and pepper, as needed
³/₄ cup Greek Yogurt (170 g)
5 tablespoons butter (71 g)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary (3 g)

Directions

Toss the potatoes and garlic with the oil, salt, and pepper. Spread into an even layer on a baking sheet and roast in a 375 degree oven until tender and caramelized, about 30-45 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a large bowl, and use a handheld mixer to whip them with the Greek yogurt until smooth.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and add the rosemary. Let the butter rest until it is set. Top the warm potatoes with the butter.

I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!

Great recipe! Doesn't even need the rosemary butter.

INSANELY great!

I needed a quick last minute recipe for a Sweet Potato side that wasn't a cassarole and didn't contain any extra added sugar. This recipe was such a delight and a crowd pleaser. The natural flavor of the potatoes/garlic/olive oil combined with the Greek Yogurt, alone was a gem. But the Rosemary butter added quite the finishing bite.

Thank you so much for this. Will definitely make it again.
