Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 375.With a fork puncture the yams with a couple of fork pokes. I would lay a small sheet of aluminum foil under neath as juices will bake out. Roast the yams for about 45 minutes.If you like roasted garlic too - you can roast the garlic for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Remove them from the oven and let them cool off slightly. You can put them in the fridge to speed up the process. When they are cool enough to handle - cut them in half and scoop out the good stuff.With a potato masher, mash up the yams.
Step 3
Add the garlic, kosher salt and pepper and the cream cheese.
Step 4
Mix it all together and serve.The cream texture of the yams and the roasted flavour are divine.
