FOR THE MASH:
4 whole Large Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
5 strips Bacon, Diced
2 whole Jalapenos, Stems And Seeds Removed, Finely Diced
3 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce, Chopped
1/4 cups Half-and-half
4 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Green Onions, Sliced, For Garnish
FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING:
12 whole Vanilla Wafer Cookies (store-bought)
1/2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
1/4 cups Walnuts, Chopped
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted

1
Preheat your oven to 375 F.
2
Place the cubed potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with just enough water that it covers the potatoes. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and heat over medium-high heat. Boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Strain through a colander and set aside.
3
While your potatoes are boiling, add the bacon into a non-stick saute pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp then transfer it to a paper-towel lined plate. Leaving the bacon grease in the pan and the stove set to medium heat, add the diced jalapeno and chipotle peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
4
Into a large bowl, add the sweet potatoes, half-and-half and 4 tablespoons of butter. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until they are mashed and creamy. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper and fold in the bacon and jalapeno/chipotle mixture.
5
Once combined, pour the potatoes into an oven safe 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
6
In the bowl of your food processor, add the vanilla wafer cookies. Pulse 5-6 times and transfer to a large bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs and walnuts and stir to combine. Gently drizzle in the melted butter and fold again to combine.
7
Spoon the crumble mixture on top of the potatoes and place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. At the end of the bake time if you find that the potatoes aren't brown enough for your liking, place them under the broiler set to low for 3-4 minutes or until it reaches the level of brown you want.
8
Top with green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
