Chipotle Orange Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:
4 large sweet potatoes
1 small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (you will be using 2 Tablespoons of the adobo sauce in the recipe)
Juice of 1 orange
1 teaspoon Kosher salt, optional

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Bake sweet potatoes directly on oven racks for 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

3. Remove potatoes from oven, slice in quarters. Carefully slide the potato skins off and discard. (Careful -- the potatoes are very hot!) Place potatoes in a large bowl and mash.

4. Add 2 Tablespoons of adobo sauce to the potatoes and blend thoroughly. (If your tongue can take it and you want a more fiery and spicier dish, mix some chopped chipotle peppers into the potatoes.)

5. Add the orange juice and salt. Mix until blended.

Makes 8 servings.
