Sweet potatoes are delicious as a savory side. I like them much better this way than with loads of sugar. I've made sweet potatoes semi- twice baked before and with furthering tweaking came up with this. Hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
2 1/4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
4 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup sour cream |
8 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 small chipotle chile in adobo, remove seeds and slice in small pieces |
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped and toasted |
Directions:
1. Cover potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until tender and then drain.
2. Mash potatoes, add butter, sour cream, sugar, cheese, chipotle pepper and bacon; mix well.
3. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
4. Top with toasted pecans just before serving.
