Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
  2. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place on an oven tray with the unpeeled cloves of garlic, and bake for 1 hour or until tender. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  3. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Squeeze the cloves of garlic from their skin and add them to the potato flesh.
  4. Stir in the honey and unsalted butter, milk and salt to taste, and mash the potatoes until there are no lumps and the consistency is creamy.
