Ingredients

• 4 pounds baking potatoes
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/4 cups warm buttermilk
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter

• 1 teaspoon salt

3. 3. Stir in sweet potatoes and chopped chipotle peppers, and spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 2 1/2-qt. baking dish or 8 (10-oz.) ramekins. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
