Place the sweet potatoes on a roasting pan along with the cloves of garlic.
Drizzle garlic lightly with olive oil. Roast in a 400 degree oven until
tender, turning occasionally. Remove the garlic when it has softened and
lightly caramelized; do not allow to burn.
Peel the roasted garlic and place in a small bowl and add 1/2 of the canned
chipotles, chopping whole chipotles. Add brown sugar, and sherry; blend
lightly with a fork.
Peel sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl. Mash lightly with butter,
adding garlic/chipotle mixture, stir in sage, green onions, parmesan and
salt. Spoon mixture into a 8-cup buttered casserole and cover. Bake in a
350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Garnish with fresh sage sprigs before
serving. Better if made a day or two in advance.
