I made these sweet potatoes after using the skins to make baked sweet potato skins. They are very good and easy to make. I like the fresh taste of the lime and chipotle. I added some canned adobo chiles in chipotle sauce, and added quite a bit - about 2 chiles and a couple tablespoons of the sauce. It has a little bit of a kick, but wasn't overwhelming. It is a nice healthy substitute for mashed potatoes. I did add the butter but think it would be fine with less or even none.

Excellent! I made this for lunch today, served with grilled Andouille sausage, a loose leaf lettuce salad, dressed with Key Lime juice, and a Pale Ale, well, a couple of Pale Ales. I used yams and the juice of 4 Key Limes (they're much smaller). I've weaned myself away from salt so I cut that to 1/4 teaspoon. Thanx for posting this great recipe. Pierre

Hi everybody,
I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
