A delightful twist on classic mashed sweet potatoes, this recipe incorporates a smoky and spicy flavor profile for a unique side dish.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures even cooking.
Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water.
Make sure the water level is below the steamer basket to avoid boiling the potatoes.
Steam the sweet potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are soft but not mushy.
Transfer the steamed sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl and add the butter.
Mash the potatoes while they are still hot for easier mixing.
Mix in the chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and salt until well combined.
Adjust the amount of chipotle and adobo sauce to your preferred spice level.
Serve the mashed sweet potatoes warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
