Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons butter
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 medium yams or 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and sauté, stirring occasionally until the garlic is brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the cream and reduce by one-third over low heat, about 10 minutes.
  • Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the yams in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them completely.
  • Bring to the boil over high heat and cook until the yams can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain and transfer to a food processor.
  • Add the cream and process until well blended. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, correct the seasonings, and serve.
