Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes

My husband and I are creatures of habit. We like soup and salad for lunch on Sunday afternoons. We eat hummus, rice crackers and olives as a Friday night treat. And we cook salmon, kale and mashed sweet potatoes for dinner on Monday nights. Every Monday night.

To spice things up sometimes, I like to add a little heat to our sweet potatoes.
