This is the BEST way to eat a sweet potato. We have baked sweet potatoes with our steaks instead of Idaho potatoes. It's a nice complement to chicken and beef - or any other meat that I can think of! This can also be made on the grill or tossed in the coals if you are camping!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garnet yams
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup whipped butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake yams for 45 to 75 minutes (bigger yams take longer to cook).
  • When they are done, the outside will have darkened and the inside will be soft.
  • You may see liquid from the potato oozing out and charring.
  • When the potato is sliced open, the inside of the skin will be charred black from the caramelizing sugar in the potato.
  • This is a perfectly cooked potato.
  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
  • To serve, slice a potato down the center.
  • Add two Tbs of whipped butter, then sprinkle some cinnamon/sugar over the top.
