SO HOW'D IT GO?
I've made this a bunch and it is so good! I'll just peel and microwave one for me...I use Mrs.Dash southwest seasoning blend and last time I used up some leftover coconut milk instead of EB and it was tops!Love a break from the norm. Nom nom nom :)>>>
This recipe is really great! This is actually the first recipe I made off this site, and it was really simple to make. You don't need to buy a potato masher if you don't have it; just a fork will do. I thought this was quite delicious, as I like spice added to sweet potatoes (as opposed to being made more sugary).
These were wonderful! I made some minor changes: I used one partially seeded chipotle pepper which was canned and added a bit of the sauce, I also used bottled lime juice, added a bit of ground sea salt, and didn't add any vegan margarine or oil. It was fantastic on some fry bread with a bit of crushed pineapple and some greens. My sister and I really enjoyed this! ;)b
I can't find chipotle powder anywhere. Is it ever called something else? Where do you all find it?
I think it was called chipotle powder..I found it in with the bulk spices at our store.

The concept sounded great. I love anything with Chipotle powder in it. But these weren't so great. I don't think I really like sweet potatoes. Thats why I tried this, to see if I could make them delicious, but it just wasn't for me. Or my husband.
This was great! Just wonderful if you like a little heat to your sweet potatoes:)
I'm still not sure whether I had a sweet potato or yam...but it was amazing! I LOVED it. I just cooked my one potato/yam until very soft in the microwave (coated with oil and sea salt), then melted some EB, added quite a bit of chipotle powder and lime..and some salt and pepper. Then, I poured this over the semi-smashed potato/yam. I'm wanting another! :>
This looks amazing! I love sweet potatoes made spicy! I haven't tried it yet, but I can tell I'm going to love it! :D
I haven't made this one, but I love making chipotle sweet potatoes--I use Alton Brown's recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_24966,00.html which uses whole canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. All you have to do is replace the butter.
