Sweet potatoes with a "kick" - what a delicious idea! After all those "sweet" sweet potato casseroles at Christmas -- this is a great way to kick off the New Year - yes, with a kick. : ) We enjoyed this dish with our New Year's leftovers of cabbage, blackeyed peas and some cornbread. Made for the Football Pool tag game.

Great way to spice up sweet potatoes! I cut this recipe in half and used as a filling for quesadillas topped with mango salsa and avocado. Amazing combo! Thanks for the post.

Couldn't change a thing. I really enjoyed the smoky spice from the chipotle peppers.
