Golden Mash

Golden Mash


Between the roasted garlic and the touch of horseradish, this golden mash is layered with sweetness and savoriness. It holds its own, even when paired with Sisters’ rich holiday meals of BBQ ribs or roasted turkey.

3 large yams (cut into 8 pieces each)
6 cloves of garlic, peeled
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tsp prepared horseradish

1. In a medium pot, cover yams with water and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place whole garlic cloves in a small sauté pan with olive oil. Cook on medium heat until golden brown and tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside the roasted garlic cloves and reserve the infused garlic oil for another use.

2. Drain yams and add butter and roasted garlic. Mash until mixed. Add remaining ingredients and continue mashing until reaching your desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
