Very nice change from mashed potatoes and everyone enjoyed. I cut WAY back on the adobo chiles (part of one chopped up and about 1 t of the sauce) but offered some on the side for my husband to mix in to his. Everyone was pleased. The lime flavor really stood out to me, which was a nice touch. We will definitely make this again! -
Three days before Christmas, I decided to serve this recipe along with Hot Pecan Peas(#153930) and Awesome Baked Ham( #46922. Found all the ingredients except the chipotle chiles on adobo. Went ahead and prepared it without the chipotle chiles and the kids loved it. Next time, I'll check some local ethnic supermarkets for the chipotle chiles. Thanks for sharing. -
This are really good. Fun and different. I will make these again! -
Oh Boy, this was good! I made minor changes, namely, using one large chipotle (which was the perfect heat for some members of my family...you can always add more, I reasoned, to individual servings if anyone wanted more spice), and 2 Tablespoons of Splenda Brown Sugar blend instead of regular brown sugar. Even my non-sweet potato eating son went back for seconds. -
This is a very tasty dish. I'm always looking for new ways to combine different flavors and the sweet potato and chipoltie chiles sure does it. Thanks for sharing.
