Sweet Potatoes with Blue Cheese and Pecans

This roasted sweet potato mash with blue cheese and pecans is a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian side dish. By roasting the potatoes in their skins, the natural sugars are allowed to caramelise, creating a deep flavour that pairs beautifully with the tangy cream cheese and rich butter. It is a wonderfully indulgent accompaniment that brings a touch of elegance to any dinner table.

Ideal for autumn gatherings or as a decadent Sunday roast companion, this recipe balances savoury and sweet notes with ease. The final flourish of crumbled blue cheese adds a sharp contrast to the silky mash, while shop-bought candied pecans provide a satisfying textural crunch. It is a simple yet impressive way to elevate humble root vegetables into a show-stopping dish.
