Instructions

Preparation

15 minutes

Wash sweet potatoes, dry and pierce all over with a fork. Mix all dry spices together. Rub potatoes with olive oil and then evenly apply the spice mixture to all sides.

Preheating the smoker

20-25 minutes

Heat smoker to 120-135 °C. Place hickory and apple wood chips in the smoker box. Ensure a consistent temperature and stable smoke production before placing the potatoes inside.

Smoking

3-4 hours

Place seasoned sweet potatoes directly on the rack. Smoke at 120-135 °C until a core temperature of 90-95 °C is reached and the potatoes feel soft when pierced with a knife. After 2 hours, brush with a mixture of butter and a little chipotle powder.

Serving

5 minutes

Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise, refine with a little butter and a splash of fresh lime juice. Top with crème fraîche and fresh cilantro as desired and serve immediately.

Pro Tip

Brush the sweet potatoes with a little butter at the peak of cooking time to get a shiny, caramelized skin. For extra heat, additional fresh chipotle powder can be sprinkled on top.
