Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each one several times with a fork.
Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once the sweet potatoes are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Peel the skins off the sweet potatoes and place the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, honey, milk or heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon (if using) to the bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer or a potato masher, whip or mash the mixture until it is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the whipped sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with an extra drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
