SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND CHIPOTLES



Sweet Potatoes with Maple and Chipotles image

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.
