Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square oven-to-table baking dish.
- In a large saucepan or a stockpot over high heat, combine the sweet potatoes with water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until tender, 10–15 minutes. Drain the potatoes into a colander and then return them to the pan.
- Add the orange zest and juice, yogurt, 3 tablespoons of the butter, chipotle chiles and adobo sauce, piloncillo, vanilla, and salt to the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes, mixing them well with all the other ingredients, until smooth.
- Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small bits and dot the top. Bake the potatoes until heated through and the top is slightly darker, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds, and serve hot.
Notes
- Make Ahead: The sweet potato mixture can be made up to 3 days in advance, spooned into the buttered baking dish, covered, and refrigerated. Bake directly from the refrigerator in a preheated 350°F oven until heated through, 30–35 minutes. Serve as directed.

- Festive Feasts: During the holidays, these sweet potatoes are a natural fit with a classic roast turkey or spiral-cut ham. They'll hold their own next to stuffing, cranberry sauce, salsa casera, and all the trimmings -- like sangria!
