Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large sweet potatoes or 3 large yams
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper (more or less to taste- but be warned, ground chipotle is hot)
salt

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes.
Cut each sweet potato into bite-sized chunks (make each piece roughly about an inch).
Add the sweet potato pieces, the extra virgin olive oil, cinnamon, and chipotle to a gallon-sized storage bag.
Close the storage bag and shake, making sure all of the spices are evenly distributed on the pieces (otherwise you might find out what happens when too much chipotle sticks to an individual piece).
Spread out the spiced sweet potato pieces in an even layer onto a baking sheet.
Salt to taste.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then using a spatula to turn them, place them back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. If you like them crisper, you can add a few minutes, just make sure to check on them so they don't burn. Serve them as they are, or you can dip them in ketchup like french fries.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes (6 potatoes)
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, with seeds, such as Goya
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can of chiles)
1/4 cup pure Grade A maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared sheet pan and pierce each potato 4 times with a small knife. Roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until very tender inside when tested with a knife. Set aside until cool enough to handle. (Leave the oven on.) Peel the potatoes, discard the skins and place the potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Meanwhile, place the milk, cream, chipotle chile and adobo sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. (It might look curdled.)
With the mixer on low speed, add the chipotle-milk mixture to the sweet potatoes. Add the maple syrup, butter and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix until the potatoes are coarsely pureed. Pour into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval oven-to-table baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot.
Make ahead: Prepare the sweet potato mixture, spoon it into the baking dish, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes, until hot.
