Yep.  Called potatoes Sexy.  

It's for the best!  This recipe, just like most of my others, came from the necessity of not wanting to waste stuff.  We had some great blue cheese leftover, but after a few days of cheese+bread for snacks and meals were all .... let's cook something with this.  And so we did.  Now it's your turn to copy us.  

 You need sweet potatoes!  Duh.  And butter, chipotle peppers in adobo (we actually only use the adobo sauce here, but save the peppers for something else!), honey or agave, and blue cheese.  This is actually a softer version, but any kind of blue cheese that you can crumble easily is perfect.  IMG_4680

First, we'll get the potatoes started.  Preheat the oven to 450F, and peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges.  Or fries.  Or chunks.  Any shape you like!  IMG_4681

Stick the potatoes in the oven on a baking sheet with parchment or cooking spray - we let them roast about halfway and then add the sauce.  For the sauce, melt the butter for a few seconds in the microwave.  IMG_4682

Then, add the agave and adobo and stir to combine.  Taste the sauce!  It's like smoky buffalo sauce.  Add more adobo if you'd like based on your preference for heat, or even some of the chipotles themselves.  IMG_4686

When the sauce is done and the potatoes have been roasting for 10 minutes, take them out of the oven and pour half the sauce over them, then use a spatula to toss the potatoes in the sauce.  IMG_4687

Place the potatoes back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through and the sauce has thickened and stuck to the potatoes.  IMG_4690

And that's it!  Top the whole thing with blue cheese crumbles and serve the rest of the sauce on the side.  IMG_4691

Now, we had these with salad + chicken/tofu for dinner, but they're a great snack or even topper to a salad when chilled.  The flavor from the chipotle with the blue cheese is a really great combo, and if you're not into sweet potatoes now might be a great time to get into them.  Anything covered in butter and cheese is probably worth trying, right?  IMG_4694

Right.  IMG_4704
