Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Spicy, smoky chipotle in adobo sauce provides just the right amount smoky heat to balance out these creamy and buttery sweet potatoes.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes peeled, 1 1/2 inch dice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup 2 oz heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce seeded
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce
- fresh chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Put diced sweet potatoes into a steamer basket and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. (Alternately, put sweet potatoes into a pot of cold water and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender.)
- In a large bowl or the emptied bottom pot of the steamer, combine the sweet potatoes, butter, cream, and salt. Mash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
- Finely mince the chipotle pepper until it's almost a paste. Add the chipotle and the adobo to the potatoes and mix in.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and top with parsley if desired.
