    Nice spin

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Really liked this recipe. I tossed the one pepper in a small food processor with about 1 tbsp of the sauce. A quick spin... and it went right into the potato mixture. I will definitely make this again!Read more

    Got a new believer

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My sister hates sweet potatoes, but she begged me for this recipie. It is so good. Next time though I will put the chipotle... pepper in the food processor and liquify it because I really didn't care for the chunks but loved the flavor. Read more

    Read carefully-- USE ONLY ONE CHIPOTLE PEPPER!!!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    The recipe is worded strangely and I think Food Network should consider changing it. It says to use one whole canned... chipotle pepper, but it reads like you should use one whole CAN of chipotle peppers. Aside from this -- it's a good recipe, and I'd do it again on occasion. I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes and the twist of adding chipotle flavor to them is a pleasant change. Read more

    Finally a delicious mashed sweet potato recipe...

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I became infatuated with sweet potatoes about four years ago. After being introduced to them under a blanket of marshmallow... goo (the potaotes, not me) I simply turned my nose up at the mere mention of them. Anyway, I am a huge fan of mashed potatoes and once I learned how to properly cook sweet potaotes, I began searching for a decent smashed sweet potato recipe. Most have honey, orange juice, or some other sweetner. I say let the potatoes speak for themselves. Which is exactly what this recipe does. Look at the ingredient list for crying out loud. How can you go wrong??? It has like five ingredients if you count the water for boiling! Very good. You can taste each component on its own and together they are dynamite. I made this recipe straight up as the recipe calls for and it was great. My wife and I like spicy food though and next time I might add another pepper or some more adobo. Thanks Alton!Read more

    Good, but not great

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Note - use ONLY ONE pepper from the whole can! (I made that mistake with another chile recipie.) Save the rest in a covered... jar in the fridge. Good, balanced flavors - sweet, warm spicy, a little butter fat. Good but not super great, but I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. Def. easy to make. My guy thought they tasted a little bitter at the end. I didn't taste that. Might be good with sour cream or a little more butter, or maybe something sour added. I have another recipie with sw. pot. and pineapple and cranberries. Thought I might try them here. OR serve them with something lime flavored?Read more

    HOLY HOT BATMAN!

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I love spicy food and I will eat jalapeno poppers all day long. I only added two of the chiles in adobo sauce and left the... other 8 ounces in the can. My husband enjoys very spicy food, but this was too spicy for both of us. At first you get a pleasant warm tingle in your mouth and its all down hill from there. I would recommend maybe adding 1/4th of a chili from the canned adobo can. I won't make this again. Read more
