Mashed Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

PaulaG's Note:

These potatoes are wonderful--thanks Rachael Ray! The recipe calls for butter and I made these quite successfully with Smart Balance spread.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup chicken stock, approximate
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped (Seeded for a milder flavor.)
• 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Place the prepared potatoes in a large saucepan with cold water and bring to a boil; once boiling add a touch of salt and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and return to saucepan, add 2 tablespoons butter, chicken stock, brown sugar, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce.
3. Mash the potatoes until combined, I like to leave them slightly lumpy.
4. Season with salt and black pepper and serve.

This is a great combination of slightly spicy and sweet. Excellent delicious recipe, Paula. I will definitely make this again. Thanks so much for posting.

Loved these! They are excellent. There is a mild heat, a tiny bit of sweet, and just creamy goodness. I used splenda brown sugar and served with pork chops. I will defintely be making these again! YUM! Made for Spring "09 Pick a Chef.
