Preparation
- Step 1
Put oven rack in middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Place potatoes on large baking sheet and bake until soft, 35 to 40 minutes for medium potatoes, up to 1 hour for large.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, combine syrup, sour cream or crème fraîche, chipotle purée, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Step 3
When potatoes are tender, remove from oven and slice in two lengthwise. Scoop hot flesh into a potato ricer or food mill, and purée into bowl with other ingredients. Stir with rubber spatula to combine. Potatoes should be light and fluffy. Taste for seasoning, transfer to warm serving bowl and serve immediately.

Can this be made ahead and reheated, or does it lose the fluffiness and become dense and heavy?
Variables:
1. Larger sweet potatoes yield more flesh (higher flesh to skin ratio).
2. Prick with a fork or knife before roasting; roast until beads of dark caramelized juices appear at the cuts. (Should feel very soft when squeezed.)
3. Puree entire can of chipotles then measure what you want to use--more flavor than spooning the liquid adobo out of the can.
4. Be assertive with seasoning; sweet potatoes absorb a lot.
5. Portion extra chipotle puree in ice cube trays; hold frozen in a Ziploc.
Hi, can I make this in advance and reheat? Or will it affect the flavor and fluffiness?
Modified this year because I forgot to buy nondairy yogurt or sour cream - used 3/4 cup oatmilk creamer plus the juice of half a lemon. Delish!
Maple syrup should equal the quantity of creme fraiche. An extra teaspoon of chipoltlies
Loved! Forgot the cinnamon, but didn't miss. Served it with this https://approvedpromo.info/recipes/7844-roast-lobster-with-vanilla-sauce%3C/a%3E And the audience applauded.
