SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND CHIPOTLES
This is a Bobby Flay recipe ginned up specifically for Thanksgiving in response to a request from The Times back in 2003. Mr. Flay came through in spades: The sweetness of the potatoes is amplified by maple syrup, then taken in a completely different direction by the addition of fiery chipotle sauce. Sour cream knits the dish together perfectly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared sheet pan and pierce each potato 4 times with a small knife. Roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until very tender inside when tested with a knife. Set aside until cool enough to handle. (Leave the oven on.) Peel the potatoes, discard the skins and place the potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Meanwhile, place the milk, cream, chipotle chile and adobo sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. (It might look curdled.)
- With the mixer on low speed, add the chipotle-milk mixture to the sweet potatoes. Add the maple syrup, butter and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix until the potatoes are coarsely pureed. Pour into a 9-by-12-by-2-inch oval oven-to-table baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot.
- Make ahead: Prepare the sweet potato mixture, spoon it into the baking dish, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes, until hot.

EASY MAPLE MASHED SWEET POTATOES
The addition of maple syrup makes these pleasently different. This dish was always popular when I catered holiday dinners. I put a small amount of syrup here but you may certainly add more if you like. I have also cut it down as I doubt that very many folks will be having 100 at their table *wink*. Prep time is actually the mixing time after the potatoes have been baked. Also this can be made the day before and gently reheated (covered) before serving. **EDIT** After several reviewers commenting that the maple flavor is faint I have upped the maple syrup content on Jan 18 "07, please feel free to add more after tasting it if you would like to.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Poke holes in the sweet potatoes: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
- Use a large pot: The sweet potatoes will need plenty of room to cook. If you use a pot that is too small, the potatoes will be crowded and will not cook evenly.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low: This will help to prevent the potatoes from boiling over.
- Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and mash them until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes.
- Add the maple syrup, chipotle peppers, and butter: Once the sweet potatoes are mashed, add the maple syrup, chipotle peppers, and butter. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
- Season the sweet potatoes to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Serve the sweet potatoes hot: Mashed sweet potatoes are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
Conclusion:
Mashed sweet potatoes with maple syrup and chipotles are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. The sweet potatoes are creamy and flavorful, and the maple syrup and chipotles add a touch of sweetness and spice. These mashed sweet potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
