I thought I would like the combination of sweet and spicy but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I love sweet potatoes and I love chipotle but I don't think I'm a fan of them together. This is strictly a personal preference thing. The potatoes were very fluffy and creamy and neither taste was overpowering and the recipe is definitely easy. Thanks moxie!
