SLOW-BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Slow-Baked Sweet Potatoes image

In this easy Thanksgiving side, jewel-toned sweet potatoes are roasted low and slow. This hands-off method makes them so tender they melt in your mouth, and the gentle oven temperature gives the natural sugars enough time to caramelize and deepen the flavor of the sweet potato. Serve them with this rich, zesty Country Ham-Ginger Butter to spread on top.

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

12 medium sweet potatoes, preferably orange-fleshed Beauregard, washed and dried
2 tablespoons lard or shortening
1 recipe Country Ham-Ginger Butter, for serving (optional)
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°. Rub each potato all over with a scant 1/2 teaspoon lard. Cut parchment squares just large enough to wrap around each potato individually. Wrap potatoes, twisting ends in opposite directions to form a tight seal. Transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Bake until potatoes are very soft and collapsing, about 1 1/2 hours. Leave wrapped in parchment until ready to serve, then split each lengthwise, dollop with ham-ginger butter, and sprinkle with salt.

This is a super simple recipe that my entire extended family has adopted. It does takes 3 hours from start to finish, but the results are really worth it.

Time 3h2m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes (or as many as you need)
4 tablespoons butter (optional)

Steps:

Place rack in center of oven. Preheat to 350 degrees.
Scrub sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. Place sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet or an oven-proof stone. Bake for one hour.
Remove sweet potatoes from oven, flip them to the other side, and bake another hour.
Once the second hour has passed, turn OFF the oven and keep the potatoes in the oven for another hour.
This long baking time produces a very sweet sweet potato that is very easy to peel. They are almost carmelized. (Take a bite before you add the butter, it really doesn't need it).
