Roasted Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes ### Ingredients:

2 pounds Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Yes, that’s right! Let’s get that oven all warmed up and cozy.
Now, grab those glorious Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes. Give them a good scrub, because nobody likes dirty potatoes at the party!
Place the cleaned potatoes on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. We want them to be tender and delightful. You’ll know they’re done when you can easily poke them with a fork. Time for a fork-tastic moment!
Once they’re all roasted up, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. Careful, they’re hot! We don’t want any singed eyebrows here.
Now comes the smashing part! Use a fork or a potato masher to gently smash each potato. Don’t go crazy; we’re looking for a nice rustic crush here, not potato pudding!
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle on the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give them a good toss to ensure those flavors mingle like old friends.
Put those colorful smashed potatoes back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, just long enough to get a little extra crispy. Yum!
Once they’re perfectly golden and crispy, take them out of the oven, and sprinkle with fresh herbs to add a pop of color and flavor.
Serve these beauties hot, and watch as everyone comes running for more. Seriously, you might want to double the recipe. Trust me!

And there you have it! A fun and fabulous way to enjoy Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes that will not only impress your friends but also tickle your taste buds. Enjoy your smashing experience!
