Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Savory and a great change from typical sweet potato casseroles, these chipotle mashed sweet potatoes are such a wonderful and unique way to spice up your holiday table!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2-3 large peeled sweet potatoes, about 4-5 cups rough chopped in 1 inch cubes * Use 3 if on the smaller side
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle powder * Use 1/2 if you like things a little spicy
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon butter salted or unsalted
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add peeled and chopped sweet potatoes. Boil for about 20 minutes until potatoes are soft. Drain the potatoes well.
- In a food processor, combine spices, syrup, butter, and stock. Blend till combined. Then add the drained sweet potatoes while still hot. Puree for about 1 minute until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Add more broth to thin out if needed. Serve immediately or place in a casserole dish and reheat at 350℉ for 10-15 minutes if serving later.
Notes
- Spice level - 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder will give you very mild potatoes. You'll have a hint of spice, but this is a good option if anyone at the table is sensitive. Bump it up to 1/2 teaspoon for more flavor and heat!
- Dairy free or vegan option - use vegan butter or olive oil to substitute.
