Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Give sweet potatoes a Cajun flavor with salt, three different kinds of pepper and lavish quantities of butter. Serve half a potato per person as an accompaniment, or a whole one as a dinner dish with a green salad peppered with watercress.

 

Ingredients

  • pink-skinned sweet potatoes - 500g, (around 3-4 potatoes)

  • black, white and cayenne peppers

  • salt

  • butter - 80g, sliced

Method

  • wash the potatoes and leave the skins wet. Rub salt on the skins, prick them all over with a fork and place on the middle shelf of the oven.

  • Turn the oven to 200˚C, bake the potatoes for an hour until the flesh yields and feels soft when pressed.

  • Halved the potatoes. Split the potatoes each one lengthways and make close criss-cross cuts in the flesh of each half.

  • Spread the sliced butter and seasonings roughly into the cuts. Serve hot. Serves 4.
