For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting a few cloves of garlic alongside the sweet potatoes. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the mixture before mashing. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a lime wedge for a beautiful presentation. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a potato masher or ricer for a more rustic texture.
