Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 450Β°F (232Β°C). |
| 2 | Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. |
| 3 | Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the potatoes are very soft, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. |
| 4 | While the potatoes are baking, prepare a 2-quart shallow casserole dish by greasing it with butter. |
| 5 | Finely chop the chipotle chiles, then crush them along with the adobo sauce into a paste using a mortar and pestle. Aim for approximately 1 tablespoon of paste. |
| 6 | Once the sweet potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. |
| 7 | Reduce the oven temperature to 350Β°F (177Β°C). |
| 8 | When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the soft flesh into a mixing bowl. |
| 9 | Using an electric mixer, beat the sweet potatoes, chipotle paste, butter, and salt until smooth and well combined. |
| 10 | Transfer the whipped sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. |
| 11 | Bake at 350Β°F (177Β°C) until heated through, approximately 20-25 minutes. |
| 12 | Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible blend of flavors! |
