Sea salt, to taste

I made this over the weekend in a smaller amount and loved it. Tonight its back on the menu and will get topped with Chili. I'm looking forward to it, and I think I've found a definite new side to go into our meal rotation.
I did find one thing... if you can't find chipotle powder, Red Hot hot sauce now has a chipotle version that works pretty well. I used the last of the powder in the first batch and had to switch for tonights. Tastes great, a little hotter than just the powder, but an extra spoonful of honey helps to smooth out the heat.

Elly, it comes from smoked ripe jalapeno peppers. It's not as spicy as an unripe jalapeno, and it's got a nice, smoky flavor to it. They don't carry it at my local store, so I have to order it online.

What's Chipotle powder? I'm in the UK and have never heard of it.

If you like the sweet version of this dish try piloncillo, it can be found in stores carrying Mexican ingredients and is easy to prepare, just melt in a pan with a bit of water, constantly stirring to avoid sticking and drizzle over the sweet potatoe, it gives a very different flavour.
