Can you help me with a fresh sweet potato recipe?!


Question: I am testing out stuff and I cut up fresh sweet potatoes, put them in foil with cubes of butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and marshmallows. Now I'm reading these recipes that say to boil the potatoes first. Well I've had baked sweet potatoes before and was acting on this theory, but I guess all the other sugary things may make them burn? Any way to fix this???

I would continue on as you were. If you don't try it you won't know if it would work. It sounds great to me! LOL! I would try cooking at a low temp - like 325* or so I would also do it in a baking dish rather than foil, sprayed with pam or something similar. I know Rachael Ray just did an awesome looking sweet potato mix using chorizo and it was the same concept as twice baked taters. If that sounds good to you, you should be able to find it at foodnetwork.com under her show. Keep up the good work! The best way to make new recipes is exactly what your doing. You never know until you try.

you can either cook the potatoes in the oven at a much lower temperature (for a longer time)

OR
you can experiment.

put about 1 serving size in a pocket of foil. Seal it REALLY
carefully. maybe even double crimp it.

then boil the several packets in a really big pan of water.
the pan has to be big enough that water gets between and over the packets.

Well, who needs a recipe anyway? They will be ok, maybe a little crunchy where the marshmellos were.
