Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the loose papery outer covering from the head of garlic but leave the cloves attached, then wrap it in aluminum foil coated with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place the wrapped garlic and the whole sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 1/4 hours, until the potatoes are very tender when pierced.

  3. 3

    Carefully unwrap the garlic and separate the cloves; squeeze to extract about 2 teaspoons of soft roasted pulp.

  4. 4

    Slice the skin away from the top of each sweet potato and scoop out the pulp, leaving the shells intact.

  5. 5

    Mash the sweet potato pulp together with the roasted garlic, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth, then spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.

  6. 6

    Return the filled shells to the 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until heated through.
