Mashed Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Smoked Paprika

1. 1

   ["Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and place in a 400u00b0 oven for approximately 45 minutes until they are soft to the touch like a ripe avocado. I place them directly on the rack with aluminum foil underneath to catch any drips.", "Peel, coarsely chop and place in a bowl with the cream, butter, paprika, salt and cayenne. Using a hand mixer blend at medium speed until the potatoes have a creamy consistency and most of the lumps are gone. This can be done in advance if needed.", "Fill a 7"" ramekin, or 4 4"" ramekins, with the potato mixture and return to the oven for 10 minutes.", "When they have been reheated remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the sugar on top. Using a kitchen torch heat the sugar, working in a circular motion, so it forms a crunchy, brown crust. If you don't have a torch you can place the ramekins under the broiler for 20-30 seconds."]
