Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 large)
3 or 4 dried ancho chiles (about 1 1/2 ounces)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork and bake on baking sheet in middle of oven until tender, about 1 hour. Cool potatoes until they can be handled.
  • Wearing rubber gloves, stem and seed chiles and tear into 1-inch pieces. In a small saucepan bring chiles and cream to a boil. In a blender purée mixture until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids).
  • Scoop flesh from potatoes into a food processor, discarding skins, and purée with cream mixture, salt, and 2 tablespoons butter. Purée may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and cooled before being chilled, covered.
  • Transfer purée to a large saucepan and heat over moderate heat, stirring, until hot, stirring in more salt and butter if desired.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sweet potatoes were a bit bland and the ancho chile powder didn't really add much flavor.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I thought the ancho chile powder was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that, this dish was really good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less chile powder next time.
