“Simple but delicious way to have sweet potato. This could make an interesting vegetarian entree, but is also excellent as a side dish with about half a poblano per person.Topped withr both tomatillo salsa and chiles toreados, both which I have recipes available on my blog.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large peppers (poblano peppers, roasted and peeled, seeds cut out)
  • 10 ounces sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 ounces cheese (cotija cheese or queso fresco)
  • 4 tablespoons mexican crema (or creme fraiche or thin sour cream)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • Salt and pepper
  • Tomatillo Salsa (link below)
  • Chiles Toreados (link below)
