In saucepan

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt ?
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1 cinnamon stick

Pour on sliced or cubed sweet potatoes

Cook on low heat for 5 minutes and put on cubed sweet potatoes,remove cinnamon sticks.

Bake @375 for 20 min, baste/stir and bake further 20 minutes.

I just tried this new recipe and it is really good. I did not put salt in it.

Sweet potatoes are so sweet, I don't understand adding sugar to them.

I only use them in African dishes. That's where they seem to fit best.

Favorite method:
I boil them for 1/2 hour, drain and add butter, ground cinnamon, a touch of ground cloves and a Tbsp. of BROWN SUGAR.
Whip with mixer.

Alternate.
Pierce with fork, microwave, slice in half and add butter.

ALDI'S has them alternatively for 3 pounds/$ .99, or 3/$1.49 so we go through a lot of them.

Especially good with fish fillets.

Try adding some ginger next time. First time I ever did it and it adds a lot to the taste.

Will do.

Do you mean powdered ginger (which I don't have) or fresh ginger which I use in abundance with my luncheon ramen.

Fresh is fine. They really are best when roasted though; you would see why I say no brown sugar is needed. Roast, then open and mash in some butter, cinnamon and ginger.

Peel, cut, bake is great, even without any oil in the pan. I do like the sound of T's version with only a bit of sugar.

I like them mashed, but sweet potato fries, not so much.

There is nothing better than roasted kumara (sweet potato), roast lamb, along with golden roasted potatoes, roasted pumpkin, minted peas and meat gravy.
Forget the added sugar, cinnamon, ginger and garlic!

A feast. It is hard to improve on God's work.
