Ingredients:
Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe
3 medium pink-skinned sweet potatoes
6 tbsp butter
Black, white and cayenne peppers
Salt to taste
Preparation Method:
Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Wash the sweet potatoes and leave the skin wet. Rub salt into the skin, pierce them all over with a fork and place them on the middle shelf of the oven. Turn on the oven 200 C and back for about an hour, until the flesh yields and feels soft when pressed.
The potatoes can either be served in halves or whole. For halves, split each on lengths and make close criss-cross cuts in the flesh of each half. Then spread with slices of butter and work the butter and seasonings roughly into the cuts by using knifepoint.
Alternatively, make a cut along the length of each sweet potato if they are to be served whole. Open them slightly and put in butter slices along the length, season with the peppers and a pinch of salt.
