How Low Can You Go?

October 19, 2009

After working all day, walking home, changing into spandex, racing to the gym, exercising for 2/3 of a Bravo TV show, navigating Fairway at rush hour, and returning home, I have little energy for cooking. On weeknights like these, the fewer the steps the better. Here is a side dish with 4 steps and 2 ingredients. (I find it turns out best if you wear slippers and over-sized sweatpants while cooking.)

Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

1. Stab several sweet potatoes (or garnet yams, if you prefer something sweeter) with a fork

2. Roast them on a baking sheet (cover the sheet with foil to reduce clean-up time) at 425º until tender

3. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop the insides out with a spoon

4. Puree in a food processor with Chipotle Tabasco to taste

NOTE: for UWS Fairway shoppers, the Tabasco is NOT shelved with the other hot sauces. You can find it with the steak sauce, in the corner behind the meat counter
