Ingredients:

4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/3 cup cold water

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (half of one stick or 1/4 cup), softened (sub vegan butter to make dairy-free)

1 chipotle pepper finely chopped (more if you want more heat)

3 teaspoons adobo sauce from the can (more/less depending on desired heat level)

1 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste

Directions:

Step 1

Place the sweet potatoes in a pot with the cold water.

Step 2

Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat. The sweet potatoes will become tender with the steam. Simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender enough to mash. Drain. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer tender sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Mash sweet potato mixture with a potato masher. Add butter, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and fine sea salt. Mash until ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Serve and enjoy!
