Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized sweet potatoes scrubbed clean and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 6 ounces goat cheese room temperature
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream room temperature
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup honey walnuts chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh minced sage separated
- 2 ounces cold goat cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and have ready a large rimmed sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
- Place the scrubbed sweet potatoes on the sheet pan and drizzle with canola oil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- In the meantime, in a large mixing bowl, add 6 ounces room temperature goat cheese, and the cream. Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium-high until well-blended.
- Peel the potatoes out of the skins and add each potato one at a time to the goat cheese mixture, mixing on medium-low speed.
- Once the potatoes have been incorporated, add the salt, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne, 1 tablespoon of sage, and mix once more until incorporated. Stir in about ⅔ of the honey walnuts.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining walnuts, crumbled goat cheese and remaining sage. Serve and enjoy.
