Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes

6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup brown sugar 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Fresh sage and rosemary sprigs, for garnish 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoons or chopsticks will prevent you slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  3. Mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the butter mixture all over the potatoes. Bake until tender and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the sage and rosemary.

It was easy. I did what another reviewer suggested and lined the baking pan with foil and made individual boats for the potatoes. I used only three potatoes, put half the mixture on before baking and the other half of the mixture on when potatoes came out of the oven.<br />It did take an hour and 15 minutes for the potatoes to cook to perfection.<br />My family LOVED them. I am going to add this recipe to our family favorites and I know I will be making them again soon.<br />This recipe, imo, just takes the regular baked sweet potatoe up a level and makes them look and taste a little fancier for a special occasion dinner.<br />Thank you, Ree, for a great recipe, and the reviewers that took the time to comment on their experience. Definitely helped me to learn how to get the most from this dish.
