Sweet Potatoes Topped with Stilton and Pecans

Only the best of the batch gets to be called Stilton. No wonder it’s a Harrington’s customer favorite! The smooth, buttery flavor takes this holiday side dish to a melt-in-your-mouth delicious level.

  • 3 lbs. sweet potatoes
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into 1” cubes, then softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup Stilton cheese
  • ¼ cup candied pecans
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Roast whole sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet about 1 hour, or until tender (test with a fork). Let cool slightly. Remove skins. Transfer potatoes to a large heavy saucepan. Place over low heat, then add cream cheese and butter. Mash until creamy smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Heat until piping hot. Spoon into a warm serving dish. Top with crumbled Stilton and pecans. 8-10 servings.
