For an even richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes before mashing. Toss them with olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender. A touch of nutmeg or cinnamon can add a warm, aromatic dimension to the dish. Start with a pinch and adjust to your preference. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the Neufchatel cheese with a plant-based cream cheese alternative or a dollop of coconut cream.
