It is critical that you use smoked — not regular—paprika in this dish. Whether you use sweet or hot, you will end up with irresistible sweet potatoes.

PreparationPut oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

Prick each potato once with a fork, then bake potatoes in a foil-lined shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel, then cut away any eyes or dark spots. Purée potatoes with butter, cream, paprika, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until smooth.

Cooks' note:

Purée can be made 1 day ahead and chilled in an airtight container. Reheat in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

This is from epi. I couldn't post a link, my home page has changed and things don't work the way they used to!!!

I made this last night and will make it again for t-day. Based on the reviews I doubled the smoked paprika, but I think I will add more next time.

 
Hmm, I don't know about you Susan but I'm starting to wonder how Charlie *really* got the Smokey

moniker...lol.
