Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Lime

(recipe from Where Women Cook magazine)

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
pinch of salt
3/4 cup sour cream (I used canned coconut milk)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
3-4 canned chipotle chiles in adobo (smoked jalapenos), finely chopped
3 Tbsp. adobo sauce (from the same can)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder (I used a clove of fresh garlic)
2 limes, juiced
pinch of pepper

Place cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot with salted water to cover.  Bring to a boil, and cook until soft or a fork can easily break them.

Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot.  Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency.

Stir in the sour cream, olive oil, chipotles, adobo, chili and garlic powders, and lime juice.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

(Note:  I boiled the clove of garlic with the sweet potatoes.  I then put the boiled potatoes and garlic into a food processor along with whole chipotles and all other ingredients and blended until whipped to a nice texture.  So easy!  Also, this recipe tastes amazing!  Such a different and delightful treatment of sweet potatoes. Yum.)
