Forget the brown sugar and gooey marshmallows. This is the way to give sweet potatoes the respect they deserve. Serve with chilled cooked shrimp, chunks of crusty Italian bread and assorted crudities for dipping.Unknown source

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes

1 tsp. finely chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tbsp. crème fraiche or sour cream
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 3. Remove pan from heat. Using handheld immersion blender, puree sweet potatoes in broth til smooth. Alternatively puree in batches in blender or food processor til smooth and return the sweet potatoes to the pan. Beat in chipotle chile.
  • 4. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the crème fraiche and the lime juice. If mixture is too thick, whisk in a little additional broth or water. Season wit salt to taste.Cook over medium low heat til heated through, about 5 minutes
  • 5. Transfer to a ceramic or enameled cast iron fondue pot. Drizzle remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp. crème fraiche on top and sprinkle with the cilantro. Regulate heat under pot, if possible so that fondue remains warm, not hot. Makes about 4 cups or 10 to 12 appetizer servings.

This fondue was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less maple syrup next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fondue turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the sweet potatoes.

This fondue was a great way to use up some leftover sweet potatoes. It was also a nice change from traditional cheese fondue.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This fondue was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much chipotle powder. Next time I'll use less.
