Creamy and Spicy Sweet Potatoes

Submitted by Penny Stettinius

"I love savory sweet potatoes. Last night we had steak and a roasted beet salad with clementines and spinach so these potatoes were created to finish off the perfect Friday night dinner, complete with a bottle of Bogle ($9:)Cabernet Sauvignon. Depending on the dryness and size of your potatoes you may need to add more chicken broth. Also, depending on how spicy you like your food, either use more chipoltle peppers or less."

Trinkets came in town this weekend for my 50th B-Day party and we cooked up a storm. We fixed this with Grilled FrenchSalmon, Haricot Verts and a Hearts of Palm Salad. What an amazing menu. THis recipe is undoubtedly the best Sweet Potatoe recipe ever.
