  Easy and delicious!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Great and simple recipe! The sweet potatoes tasted sweeter and delicious with the smoky spicy chipotle pepper. I thought it... was an excellent combination (I love spicy food in general). I would give it 5 stars, but the cream curdled in the oven. Not sure if I did something wrong. But other than that, I will make it again.Read more

  I had this at the Mesa Grille (NOV 2009) in the Bahamas' and could not wait to make it at home. I followed the recipe almost... exactly, the difference is that I did not make home made Chipolte puree. I bought a can of Chipolte chiles in adobo sauce and made a paste by running them through a tiny food processor. Once you have made your puree remove any visible seeds as these are only extra heat when you bite into one wihtout that wonderful after flavor. I think this works perfectly. Also, when cutting the potatos I ran them through my larger size cuisinart with the slicing blade and got perfectly sized slices with half the effort of using a mandolin. I love the heat and flavor of this recipe and can handle it, however, for a holiday if you know your crowd does not like as much heat I would suggest to just use a half of TLB of the puree; I am actually going to try this before Christmas just to test out. I don't normally say that I will make a dish over and over, but there is a first time for every thing!!Read more

  Wonderful!

  I didn't use the recipe, but just fudged it. I used a two quart carton of heavy cream, a can of chipotle peppers, and put... them in the blender, since I could not find chipotle puree. I used four sweet potatoes, and cooked them at 400 until they looked done. I made them for my parents Fortieth Anniversary, along with pork chops and dressing, and garlicky spinach. Everyone loved it and ate these until we were stuffed silly! We ate so much we couldn't eat our chocolate cake!Read more

  Very good, but follow recipe exactly!!

  I really like this dish--classic Bobby Flay. First you taste the creamy sweet potatoes which is followed by a subtle (for... some), smokey heat that tingles your tongue as you swallow. But, I didn't exactly follow the recipe exactly, and added a bit more chipotle cream to each potato layer, wanting to make sure each layer was fully coated...this resulted only in a much longer baking time, a somewhat burnt bottom, a too-soft texture, and a bit too much spice. Still, with the errors, it came out very nice. Pretty to look at and very complex flavors. Next time I'll try mixing a bit of maple syrup into the cream mixture as mentioned in other reviews. This dish isn't exactly the most traditional holiday dish, only because of the heat, but it is the kind of thing that can change people's perceptions of how things are SUPPOSED to taste. Shake tradition up a bit...Read more
