I discovered Boniatos, white sweet potatoes, as part of making a Sweet Potato Bread from Heiti for Foodalogue's Culinary Tour Around the World. I fell in love with boniatos and has been making several other dishes with this wonderful vegetable.

Recently, I made an excellent side dish, whipped boniatos with goat cheese. I served it with a rack of lamb with Sazón seasoning, which I also learned about during the Culinary Tour. The rack of lamb was quite delicious, but whipped boniatos with goat cheese were a true star of the meal. Silky, light, and smooth, it's a perfect side dish.
Ingredients:
3-4 Boniato (white sweet potatoes)
1/3 cup milk
4 ounces goat cheese
Salt to taste
Directions:
Boil unpeeled boniatos in salted water. Cool a little until ready to handle, peel, and mash with milk. Place in a food processor along with a crumbled goat cheese and mix until smooth. Season with salt to taste. Pipe with a pastry bag onto plates.

I would like to submit the Whipped Goat Cheese Boniatos for this week's BSI hosted at The Chef In My Head and also for the March Side Dish Showdown at Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice.
