Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish, and set aside. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, and cool about 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Discard potato skins. Beat the sweet potatoes with the chipotle peppers, butter, and salt; spread evenly in the prepared baking dish. This can baked now or refrigerated until the next day.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking, use a fork to prick the sweet potatoes all over. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until tender: Bake the sweet potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly: Before mashing the sweet potatoes, let them cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher: You can mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or a potato masher. If you want a smoother texture, use a food processor or blender.
- Add the chipotle peppers and other ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are mashed, stir in the chipotle peppers, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. You can also add other ingredients, such as black beans, corn, or cheese.
- Serve the mashed chipotle sweet potatoes: Serve the mashed chipotle sweet potatoes immediately or reheat them later. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
