This Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus is smoother than James Brown on one leg gliding across the stage while the horns keep hitting. Brnt-brrrrrrrrrr . . . brnt-brrrrrrrrrr . . . BRNT! If you’ve never seen James Brown’s interview where he blasted out of his mind and talking to a local LA news show (Sonya Live in LA), do yourself a favor and google it. Sonya asks him about being recently released from jail on bond, and he says “No, I’m not.” Sonya: “Have all the charges been dropped?” James: “Yeah, I’m out on love.” If you wanna know what it’s like to be freed by love, try this hummus. Suddenly you’re dancing on one leg and telling everybody, “I look good, I smell good, I feel good, and I make love good.” Now hit me! Brnt-brrrrrrrrrr . . . brnt-brrrrrrrrrr . . . BRNT!

  5. In a large food processor, add beans, peeled potato, garlic, tahini, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon, and 1 Tbsp chili crisp. Process until smooth. Near the end of processing, add oil slowly while continuing to run the food processor.
