Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 pieces chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotles
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 20-25 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chipotles in adobo and set aside.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, chopped chipotles, adobo sauce, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional chipotles or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
