The smashed sweet potatoes start with a variety of colored sweet potatoes. You could also just use one variation of sweet potatoes, but I just love the colors. After the sweet potatoes roast in the oven with a little olive oil, then it is time to gently smash them. This allow the sweet potatoes to really crisp on the outside, but have the soft french fry like middle.  For the toppings, it is just a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then my favorite part is the parmesan cheese and fresh thyme. Parmesan cheese and sweet potatoes are one of my favorite combos. The thyme adds a floraly freshness to the potatoes that just livens them up even more.

I paired these sweet potato with sour cream for a little tang to complement the sweetness. It is a recipe that is can be served with a main meal or an appetizer. I will definitely be making these for my families Thanksgiving! Anyone else prefer the sweet pototoes to good ole’ mashed potatoes or just me?? The best part about Thanksgiving is you get to enjoy a little bit of everything, but I think this will be a great addition to this years feast! Let me know if y’all give these a try.
