Here's a solution to the chipotle in adobo problem--when you use this product, you invariably never use the entire can. Take a plastic ice cube tray and place one pepper in each well and then distribute the adobo sauce among the set of peppers. Freeze and store in a poly bag. Now, when you need chipotle in adobo, take one cube and dice it. (Also works for tomato paste!). Enjoy!

I knew this would be good because it's Alton Brown and this was not only good,,,, it was SENSATIONAL!!!! I did the full tsp of adobo sauce that Alton did and the heat was just right!!! Actually not hot at all, just extremely flavorful!!!! They make you want to keep eating and eating the sweet potato which is good for you!! It is wonderful to have a flavorful sweet potato dish that doesn't have the same old brown sugar, marshmallows, maple syrup, etc. I always like those too but this recipe will really wow people, it's different and great! Wonderful side dish and totally easy to make too!!!! Thanks so much for posting, will make again and again!!!!

A terrific recipe. I love the sweet, earthy taste of the potato and the luxurious taste of butter. Add a smokey, spicy chipotle chile and it takes you to another taste sensation. Kicked up, but not overpowering. You will definately like this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
