Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large sweet potatoes (washed and peeled)
1 1/2 Tbsp butter
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (minced)
1 tsp adobo sauce (from can)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut washed and peeled sweet potatoes into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces.
  • 2. Place sweet potatoes in a steamer basket and put in stock pot with water 1 inch below steamer basket. Cover and Steam over medium-high heat for 20 minutes or until fork tender.
  • 3. Take steamer basket with sweet potatoes out of stock pot and empty water.
  • 4. Turn heat to low and dump sweet potatoes into stock pot and add butter.
  • 5. Smash with potato masher slightly* then add chipotle pepper and adobo sauce and mix thoroughly with a spatula or wooden spoon. *Potatoes will be slightly lumpy, you don't want them smooth (unless you like your sweet potatoes that way). Be sure the chipotle is mixed in well as you don't want a mouthful of this pepper.
