This recipe is inspired by a dish served at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill, in New York City. The smoky heat of the chipotle chile and the potato’s natural sweetness balance each other beautifully.
- 5 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle chiles in adobo, mashed to a paste (1 1/2 to 2 chiles)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces and softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
-
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and butter a 2-quart shallow glass or ceramic baking dish.
-
Prick each potato several times with a fork, then bake on baking sheet until very soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
-
When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes and scoop flesh into a bowl. Beat potatoes, chile paste (to taste), butter, and salt with an electric mixer at medium speed just until smooth, then spread in baking dish.
-
Bake whipped potatoes until hot, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cooks’ note: Whipped potatoes can be prepared and spread in baking dish (but not baked) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before baking.
