Goat Cheese Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes make a nice change from the regular spuds. These make a nice side for my Slow Cooker Apple, Bacon and BBQ Chicken. A serving of these are just 3 ww plus points.

12 servings

3 lbs sweet potatoes
1/2 cup fat free half and half
3 T Smart Balance
4 oz goat cheese
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Using a sharp paring knife, make some slits in the top of each potato. Lay them onto the baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted into a potato goes in easily. This can be done up to a day ahead of time. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato open and remove the flesh from the peel, placing it into the bowl of a standing mixer. Add the goat cheese, Smart Balance, sage, salt and pepper, fat free half and half. Mix until all are combined and smooth. Serve.
