Chipotle Garnet Yams

4 large garnet yams

2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped

¼ cup softened butter

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup heavy cream, or as needed

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place yams onto a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until very soft, about 1 hour. Once done, allow to cool, then peel and place into a mixing bowl. Mash the chipotle chiles into a paste, and add to the potatoes along with the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Mash until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes into a shallow baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
