Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 lbs) sweet potatoes
• 2 large roasted green chiles (mild or hot, depending on preference)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce them several times with a fork.

Step 3

Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily pierced.

Step 4

While the sweet potatoes are baking, if using fresh roasted green chiles, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and finely dice them. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the sweet potatoes are done, allow them to cool slightly so they can be handled safely. Slice them in half and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the sweet potato flesh.

Step 7

Using a handheld mixer or potato masher, whip or mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream if needed.

Step 8

Gently fold in the diced green chiles and fresh lime juice. Mix until well combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preferences.

Step 10

Transfer the whipped green chile sweet potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
