I saw this recipe on one of the blogs I follow (http://www.hardlyhousewives.com) and knew I needed to bookmark it to try.
It was my job to bring the sweet potatoes to Thanksgiving this year, and I had already picked out my official recipe to try, but this NEEDED to be made and brought as well.
This looks amazing. And I knew it would taste so good, too!
I love recipes that have a little spice and kick to it.
And this one is healthy and simple!! No-brainer……look at all the flecks of pepper in there!
Here are some pics of my brothers and my dad from Thanksgiving! None of us could get focused for a pic…..I think we were all moving around too much.
Fun times! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season!
Mashed Chipotle Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 2-4 Large Sweet Potatoes
- 1-4 Canned Chipotles, chopped
- 2 Tbs of Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbs of Honey
- Kosher Salt and Pepper
Directions:
- Wash and place potatoes (skin-on) in a large pot full of water that covers them. Boil them until they are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain pot and place potatoes on counter/plate to cool off.
- When potatoes have cooled off, remove skin and discard.
- Cut potatoes and place in bowl/pot and gently mash.
- Put on gloves and chop peppers and place in potatoes. Stir together. Start out with 1-2 peppers and then taste to determine level of hotness. You can always add a little more heat by adding some of the sauce the chipotle peppers are canned in. I think for 5 potatoes, I used about 4-5 peppers…I like it hot!
- Add your butter and honey and a healthy pinch of salt/pepper. Taste and then adjust.
