Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes about 2 pounds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3.5 ounces chipotles in adobo 1/2 a can – save the rest

- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and rinse the sweet potatoes, then chop them into small cubes.
- Set them into a pot and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Boil the sweet potatoes until they are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
- Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and add the butter, chipotles in adobo, crema or sour cream, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash the mixture with a potato masher or large fork to mash the potatoes, or use a hand mixer for smoother mashed potatoes.
- Serve!
Notes
NOTE: Serves 4-6 people.
I like to drizzle mine with a bit of olive oil and spicy chili flakes.
Heat Factor: Medium. You’ll get some good zing from the chipotles in adobo. For milder mashed sweet potatoes, cut the chipotles in adobo in half. For spicier, incorporate a spicy chili powder to the mix, like cayenne pepper.
You can easily double this recipe by doubling all of the ingredients.
