Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 375.

Step 2

With a fork puncture the yams with a couple of fork pokes. I would lay a small sheet of aluminum foil under neath as juices will bake out. Roast the yams for about 45 minutes.

Step 3

If you like roasted garlic too - you can roast the garlic for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Remove them from the oven and let them cool off slightly. You can put them in the fridge to speed up the process. When they are cool enough to handle - cut them in half and scoop out the good stuff.

Step 5

With a potato masher, mash up the yams. Add the garlic, kosher salt and pepper and the cream cheese. Mix it all together and serve.

Step 6

The cream texture of the yams and the roasted flavour are divine.
