My family really liked this take on sweet potatoes. More savory than most recipes, the smoky chipotle and the natural sweetness of the sweet potato play off of one another beautifully. If you are a fan of the marshmallowed, brown sugared sweet potato casserole, you probably will not like this version, but if you like something will a little more spice than sugar, you will love this.
