Smoky Chipotle Mashed Garnet Yams blend the natural sweetness of yams with a warm, smoky heat from chipotle in adobo. Butter and cream make them luxuriously smooth, while brown sugar rounds the flavors for a balanced, gently spicy side. Serve alongside roasted meats or holiday mains when you want a comforting, slightly smoky twist on classic mashed yams.
