Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes (batatas, about 2 lb total)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Wrap whole potatoes in 1 layer of foil.
Place in middle of a preheated 400°F oven.
Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
While batatas are roasting, stir together butter, lime juice, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a fork until combined well.
Unwrap batatas carefully.
When cool enough to handle, peel and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Season batatas with salt and pepper and serve with lime-cumin butter.
