This dish is to die for! It takes center stage on Thanksgiving every year, no matter what we serve alongside it. Not for the calorie-counter or traditionalist, but maybe that's just part of the appeal! Ingredients:
8 large sweet potatoes |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
2 -3 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo |
4 cups whipping cream |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |

2. Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes (aim for about 8 cups of 1/4 inch slices).
3. Butter a shallow 4 quart casserole dish.
4. Puree the chipotles in adobo and stir into whipping cream.
5. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and boil the potato slices for 15 minute Drain well.
6. Arrange a single layer of sweet potatoes in the casserole; pour 1 cup chipotle-cream mixture over them. Season with salt and pepper.
