Ingredients
Mashed White Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large white sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes*
- 1 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives (garnish, optional)
Chipotle Honey Butter
- 1 tick salted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons chipotle en adobo sauce
Instructions
- Bring butter to room temperature. Add butter, honey, and chipotle en adobo sauce to a bowl.
- Whip with a hand mixer until completely combined. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of water seasoned with 1 tablespoon of salt to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato cubes to the boiling pot of water.
- Cook for around 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato cubes pierce easily with a fork. Remove from heat and strain. Return to pot.
- Add ¾ of the Chipotle Honey Butter and ¼ cup of whole milk to the pot. Mash, mash, mash! until you reach desired consistency. I don’t mind a few lumps, but you could also run these through a ricer if you want super smooth and creamy spuds.
- Serve along with the remaining Chipotle Honey Butter. Sprinkle with fresh chives for a mild, onion-y pop.

Notes
- *You can also use orange sweet potatoes, but the flavor of the Chipotle Honey Butter will be more pronounced with the milder white sweet potato variety.
