Sugar and Spice Sweet Potatoes

Hi.

Can I just say, this is now my new favorite potato recipe.  It is incredible, and I am not just throwing that word around.  Sweet with a little zing to it, but so subtle and surprising.

Wow.

This is another recipe adapted from CuisineNie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp course ground pepper
  • melted butter
  • 3 sweet potatoes or so
Boil the sweet potatoes until soft.  Remove the skins and cut them into thirds or fourths.  Smash them (a potato smasher works well) and then brush them with melted butter.

Combine spices well, and sprinkle half of the mixture over the sweet potatoes.  Roast them in the oven until golden brown.  Flip and sprinkle the remainder of the spices and roast until golden brown on that side as well.

Serve and enjoy.

But don't worry about sharing, you wont want to.
