Total Time 1 5

Ingredients

750 g (1 ½ lb) sweet potatoes about 1-2 large potatoes
3 chipotle chiles in adobo finely chopped
1 clove garlic grated or very finely minced
1 tbsp virgin coconut oil (see notes)
¾ tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cumin

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Use a fork to prick several holes across the skin of the sweet potato(es).
Place the sweet potato(es) directly on the rack with a baking sheet placed on the rack below to catch the drips. Bake the potato(es) until very tender and a skewer inserted offers little resistance - about 1 hour depending on the size of the potato(es).
Remove the sweet potato(es) from the oven. Cut them in half and remove the skins from the flesh. Add the flesh to a large mixing bowl.
To the bowl with the sweet potato, add the chipotle chiles, garlic, coconut oil, chile powder, cumin and a generous pinch of salt.
Use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes and incorporate the rest of the ingredients. Then, use a whisk to ensure everything is smooth and thoroughly combined. Taste to adjust for seasoning adding pepper or more salt if desired. Serve.

Notes

If you're not a fan of coconut flavour, then use refined coconut oil rather than virgin coconut oil. Otherwise, the same amount of vegan butter (or regular butter if you're not concerned about making this dairy-free).
