Boom! Done! Pretty easy to make, right? Easy is great! It’s such a great recipe, the perfect holiday side dish, or basically for anyone who loves sweet potatoes with a bit of a spin. I like the spicy spin! This time of year, you’ll find all sorts of seasonal ingredients on the menu. One of them is sweet potatoes. You can find sweet potatoes in grocery stores most of the year, but their peak season is October through December, where you’ll find them much more common. The holidays demand sweet potatoes for their natural sweetness, which so many people love. As the name suggests, sweet potatoes are slightly sweet, which is typically emphasized in many recipes with maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar. While I do enjoy their sweetness personally, I enjoy pairing them with other, more savory, flavors, as you will see. So delicious. It’s a great flavor combination. Let’s talk about how to make mashed sweet potatoes, shall we? Boil the Sweet Potatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a teaspoon of salt. Add the peeled sweet potatoes and boil until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork after 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. You can also use a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. That’s it, my friends! I hope you enjoy my creamy mashed sweet potatoes recipe with chipotle. Just the right touch of spiciness.
