Ingredients




2 medium to large yams
2 cloves of garlic
 cup of light cream cheese
Kosher salt and pepper

Preparation

1 Pre-heat the oven to 375. 2 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. 3 If you like roasted garlic too - you can roast the garlic for about 20 minutes. 4 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. 5 With a potato masher, mash up the yams. Add the garlic, kosher salt and pepper and the cream cheese. Mix it all together and serve. 6 The cream texture of the yams and the roasted flavour are divine.
