Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rub the soaked cedar plank with 1/2 teaspoon of butter. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Use a paring knife to pierce the sweet potatoes in several spots to a depth of 1/2-inch. Cook the sweet potatoes in a microwave on High until soft. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Peel the potatoes, and place into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, the yogurt, and roasted garlic. Mash until smooth. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Mound the potatoes onto the cedar plank.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a golden brown crust forms on the potatoes. (Bake time: 30 minutes)

06

Step

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley, onion, paprika, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to serve.

Soaking the cedar plank is crucial to prevent it from catching fire in the oven. Ensure it's fully submerged for at least 2 hours.
For a deeper smoky flavor, consider grilling the planked potatoes over indirect heat on a gas or charcoal grill after baking in the oven.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cinnamon can add a warm, comforting note.

    I had trouble finding a cedar plank, so I used a baking dish instead. It still turned out great, but I'm excited to try it with the plank next time.
